17th and 18th Century Literature and Culture
Description
Members of the C17th and C18th research grouping explore the literature and culture of the long eighteenth century in a variety of ways. Shared interests include poetry and aesthetics, the novel, theatre history and intellectual history.
Members have also produced editions of writers as diverse as Henry Burnell, Laurence Sterne and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. They are all authors of world leading publications and have established links with the media and cultural institutions such as Alexander Pope’s Grotto, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare's Globe and the Pegasus Theatre, Oxford.
A striking feature of the Group research is that its members have interests in more than one field or period, as well as the commitment to the dissemination of knowledge through public performance, radio broadcast and other media.
The Group’s expertise has been recognised by a number of awards, including the Society of Antiquaries of London, the Royal Society of Literature and the American Conference for Irish Studies prize.
