The King, this evening: “And as we reach the conclusion of the 80th Anniversary commemorations, […] we should also rededicate ourselves not only to the cause of freedom but to renewing global commitments to restoring a just peace where there is war, to diplomacy, and to the prevention of conflict.”

Romantic poetry in romantic fiction: Byron & Austen – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution This talk concentrates on two protagonists of Romantic-period literature – one extremely famous in his time, Lord Byron, and the other, Jane Austen, hugely popular nowadays – as well as other popular early nineteenth-century novelists such as the Anglo-Irish Maria Edgeworth and the Scottish Susan Ferrier. After exploring Byron’s views on women’s fiction and poetry (and considering whether he knew Austen’s novels), the focus will shift to Austen’s knowledge of Byron’s verse and the traces it left in her novels and letters. The talk will then open up a discussion of Byron’s presence in the fiction and letters of Austen’s contemporaries Edgeworth and Ferrier, with references to some later women novelists from the 1830s and 1840s. Bringing together the bicentenary of Byron’s death in 2024 and the 250th anniversary of Austen’s birth in 2025, this discussion celebrates the interconnections between two major literary figures as well as, more generally, how women novelists in the first half the nineteenth century repeatedly engaged with, questioned and reinventedByron’s figure and poetry. Professor Diego Saglia has worked at the Universities of Cardiff and Bath, and is now Professor of English Literature at the University of Parma (Italy). His research focuses on Romantic literature and culture, also in relation to other European traditions, and particularly on such figures as Lord Byron, Jane Austen, Felicia Hemans, and Walter Scott.

Looking forward to this…

Thomas Hood: poet, comic, commentator – Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution Many may not have heard of the editor, poet, and social commentator Thomas Hood, but will know some of his poetry for its punning irony, general wordplay, and impact. Dogged by illness and depression,...

Just over a day to go until this talk - Hood was a man whose life and work (and wordplay!) deserve more appreciation
www.brlsi.org/whatson/thom...

An underrated #Poet ✍️, #ThomasHood was known for his wit and humour, despite a life marked by personal struggles.

Steve Wharton of @uniofbath.bsky.social explores this contrast, shedding light on his famous and hidden #Poetic gems.
