The Melford Hall Manuscript of John Donne Poetry

6 April 2021, 5.30pm – 7.30pm

History of Libraries Seminar, Institute of English Studies

With Tim Pye, the National Trust, and Alexander Lock, The British Library. In the spring of 2018 a previously unknown seventeenth-century manuscript of the poems of John Donne was discovered in the collection of Melford Hall in Suffolk. The manuscript, recently acquired by the British Library, is one of the largest and earliest surviving groups of Donne’s verse to come to light for many years. This seminar will look into the history of Melford Hall and its important library, together with initial insights into the history and unique features of the manuscript itself. https://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/events/event/23951

John Donne Webinar, “Metaphysical Variations” 

9th April 2021, 7-9 pm GMT

The present theme is a salute to the centenary of Herbert J. C. Grierson’s 1921 volume of Metaphysical Lyrics & Poems of The Seventeenth Century, and an acknowledgement of the importance of his work for Donne studies in the past one hundred years, and for the future. Our two panellists, Dayton Haskin and Kimberly Johnson, will first introduce the topic of Grierson’s work and the revival of Donne, as well as the influence of this on scholarship and on Modernist poetry. The introductions will be followed by a dialogue between the two panellists, and then discussions among the participants. While starting with Grierson, we will also discuss the importance of reading – and teaching – Donne, as well as poetry in general. To attend, sign up beforehand via the John Donne Society Webpage https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf0vq3BLb83f-5z9qOvL-yct3n8i5FMBDcwpXT1QhRAoAETPg/viewform

All the World’s a Stage

17 Apr 2021, 08:30 – 18 Apr 2021, 15:30 BST

Keynote: Emma Whipday

Over the past six months, theatre has proven to be as necessary a source of entertainment, education, and inspiration as it ever has been before. Much of this tradition has its roots in the Early Modern period, drawing from a rich lineage of performance and drama, and bringing it to the 21st-century. All are welcome to join us in celebrating Early Modern theatre, its influence, and its adaptations in this two-day online conference. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/all-the-worlds-a-stage-conference-tickets-141001572499

“O’ you wonder!”: Worldviews in pre-1750 Literature

VIRTUAL GRADUATE CONFERENCE, Faculty of English, University of Cambridge

17-18 April 2021, 2.30pm-7pm, GMTThe early modern period witnessed a unique and rapid epistemological expansion as the world was ‘discovered’, colonised and conceptualised. Literature became a portal for experiencing this ever-expanding world and wondering at it. Our conference brings together interdisciplinary perspectives on the worlds and wonders being written before 1750. We will be joined by our keynote speaker, Dr. Liza Blake, Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. She will present on her in-progress monograph ‘Early Modern Literary Physics’, examining how early modern literary authors used literary form to invent and work through a multitude of worldviews. https://www.english.cam.ac.uk/research/grad-conference/

Queer Temporalities in Literature, Cinema and Video GamesDecember 2-4, 2021

This International Conference sees the study of time as being central to the understanding of identity configurations. Studying time as a producer and reproducer of identities can be approached as the unearthing of past events, the imagining of other futures, or as the exploration of time as a formal factor that shapes cultural texts. While conceptions of time as something stable, singular, and unequivocal favor discourses about equally unequivocal identities, approaches to time as being defined by multiple rhythms, interruptions and uncertainties allow for other cultural/social practices to come to life in time or through specific representations of time. We invite scholars from a variety of backgrounds (Cinema, Cultural, Game, and Literary Studies) to think about time and its impact on processes of queer world-making through its relation with memory, futurities, discontinuities, and expanded approaches to everydayness.  This conference is being organized by members of the Research Project PGC2018-095393-BI00 Temporalidades Queer en la Cultura Anglófona Contemporánea (Literatura, Cine y Videojuegos) [Queer Temporalities in Contemporary Anglophone Cultures (Literature, Cinema, and Video Games)] funded by the Spanish National Research Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación). The academic host for the conference is the Department of English Studies at the University of Murcia, Spain. Proposals should be around 350 words long (with a 15% flexibility). Submissions should be sent to queertemp@gmail.com.

Deadline: June 10, 2021 In view of the current pandemic, this conference will be held fully online. Conference website: https://eventos.um.es/event_detail/63251/detail/queer-temporalities-in-literature-cinema-and-video-games-international-conference..html?private=0e561169b533ba6d0524See the CFP attached for more information.

The politics of piracy in Renaissance England: the case of Thomas Tomkins

Online- via Zoom

22 March 2021, 5:15PM – 7:00PM

IHR Seminar Series: Tudor & Stuart History  with Paul Hammer (University of Colorado Boulder). This work-in-progress paper explores the misfortunes of a gentleman privateer, Thomas Tomkins, who was branded as a pirate after the Venetian Republic complained to the new Jacobean regime about his seizure of the Balbiana in early 1603. Tomkins has featured as a minor footnote in several histories of English piracy of this period, mainly as a cautionary tale of plundering a foreign vessel whose value was too great to be overlooked in international diplomacy. However, a fuller exploration of Tomkins’ blighted career suggests a more complicated story which highlights the intersections between piracy, diplomacy, commerce, patronage and politics in the 1590s and early 1600s. Professor Paul Hammer is Director of the Center for British & Irish Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder. All welcome. This event is free, but booking is required. Joining details included in the booking confirmation. https://www.history.ac.uk/events/politics-piracy-renaissance-england-case-thomas-tomkins

Dire Straits: Patagonia and the Magellan Circumnavigation at 500

30 March 2021, 12:45 pm–8:00 pm

This conference aims to unite new and diverse critical perspectives on the Strait, its surrounding regions, and the Pacific spaces that it brought into European view for the first time, across a broad time frame. This event seeks to avoid the triumphalist commemorative narrative typifying many celebrations of this anniversary, and provide a space that privileges alternative, decolonial and emerging research that continues to question the tropes of barrenness and desolation that have long been associated with Patagonia. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/institute-of-advanced-studies/events/2021/mar/online-conference-dire-straits-patagonia-and-magellan-circumnavigation-500

Glorious Sounds: Exploring the Soundscapes of British Nonconformity, 1550-1800

14 – 15 April 2021International John Bunyan Society (IJBS), Northumbria University

This major two day multi-disciplinary conference seeks to explore the various ways that sound impacted the lives and writings of early modern Nonconformists and, in turn, their spiritual practices. How did godly noises/speeches/music compete with and/or complement one another? Did the propinquity of households/meeting houses/churches hinder or help religious worship? How were the same prayers and sermons spoken/heard differently? Did silence, or its lack thereof, effect the delivery/auditory of God’s Word? In short, what sounds defined and defied British nonconformity? https://glorioussounds.org/

California Rare Book School: The Renaissance Book, 1400 – 1650

August 2 – 6, 2021

This course will serve as a comprehensive introduction to the history of the book in early modern Europe, from the beginning of the fifteenth century to the middle of the seventeenth.  Our goal will be to use the holdings of the UCLA Special Collections, focusing on Aldines and other pre-1600 imprints, the Getty Research Institute Special Collections, and the Huntington Library to learn to “read” a Renaissance book, both as a physical object and as a carrier of both informational content and cultural values.  We will examine in turn how these books were produced, distributed, and used by those who bought and read them.  The course is intended for special collections librarians, collectors, booksellers, and scholars and graduate students in any field of Renaissance studies. For more information and how to apply please visit: http://www.calrbs.org/admissions/

European Romances Across Languages: Book Celebration and Research Perspectives

7 June 2021, 14:30 – 16:00 pm BST / 15:30 – 17:00 pm CEST

Sofia Lodén and Lydia Zeldenrust have both recently published books that look at romances across multiple languages and literary traditions. To celebrate the occasion, we invite you to join us for this online event, sponsored by the Centre for Medieval Literature (Odense/York) and Boydell and Brewer, and chaired by Elisabeth de Bruijn. Lydia and Sofia will talk briefly about their books, but instead of only looking back we want to take the opportunity to consider the future of the study of medieval European literature. To this end, we have invited three researchers working on romances from different areas of medieval Europe to each give a short reflection on what they see as the main obstacles, opportunities, and rewards in the transnational study of medieval romance (in manuscript and print). Their comments will serve as prompts for a general discussion, whereall participants are welcome to ask questions and share their own reflections (although you are also welcome to just join and listen!).

History (Richard III): 9 June 2021, 6pm – 7.30pm BST

A series of conversations taking place over three evenings in June, bringing together doctoral and early career researchers to think about the ways in which some of Shakespeare’s best known plays have shifted and changed through their performance(s) across history. Each event begins with a series of short presentations, with each panellist introducing a single performance of the panel’s designated play-text. Thereafter, the panel will reflect upon some of the questions raised by these (and other) performances as the play moves across languages, places, and periods. Audience members will be encouraged to contribute their own memories and responses during the final part of the evening. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/performance-in-history-shakespeare-tickets-152329927915

El grupo GIECO organiza en la UAH la tercera edición de su curso de verano on line titulado “Introducción a las Humanidades Ambientales” los días 14, 15 y 16 de julio. Si lo consideráis de interés para vuestros colegas o alumnos os agradecería la difusión. Fecha límite de matriculación: 7 de julio.  Este es el link a la web: https://www.uah.es/es/vivir-la-uah/actividades/cursos-de-extension-universitaria/cursos-de-extension/26-01-Introduccion-a-las-Humanidades-Ambientales-3.-Ed./

Objetivos del curso: el objetivo que pretende este curso es facilitar a los alumnos una introducción a las Humanidades Ambientales y a su práctica en el ámbito académico y de la comunicación. Las Humanidades Ambientales son el resultado del giro posthumano en las humanidades y nos llevan a cuestionarnos el papel que las humanidades pueden tener en la consecución de modelos de vida sostenibles. Las Humanidades Ambientales tienen un carácter interdisciplinar que permite que aporten un enfoque novedoso a los problemas derivados de la crisis ecológica. Además, suponen la apertura de un diálogo fructífero entre las dos culturas, las humanidades y las ciencias. Dentro de las Humanidades Ambientales, el curso tendrá dos objetivos primordiales: la narrativa sobre la naturaleza y el entorno y la aplicación práctica en el aula.Este curso está organizado por la Dra. Carmen Flys Junquera, pionera de la ecocrítica en España y con amplia trayectoria internacional. Fue de 2010 a 2012 la presidenta de la European Association for the Study of Literature, Culture and Environment, y fundó y dirige la revista Ecozon@: European Journal for Literature, Culture and Environment. Y por la Dra. Montserrat López Mújica coordinadora del Grupo de Investigación de Ecocrítica y Humanidades Ambientales con sede en el Instituto Franklin de la UAH y profesora Contratada Doctora en el Departamento de Filología Moderna de la misma universidad.

Relación de Profesores participantes: Carmen Flys Junquera (UAH), Montserrat López Mújica (UAH), Gala Arias (Univ. Autónoma de Madrid), Lorraine Kerslake (Univ. Alicante), Diana Villanueva Romero (Univ. Extremadura), Irene Sanz Alonso (UAH)
