Nineteenth-Century Graduate Seminar
The Nineteenth-Century Graduate Seminar meets fortnightly during term time. Sessions are hosted and chaired by members of the English Faculty, and speakers are invited to address graduate students, senior faculty members and visitors on their particular area of expertise, with ample time for questions and discussion. The seminar meets at 5.15pm on Tuesdays, in the Board Room in the English Faculty. Everybody is most welcome to attend.
