Our Early Modern Forum will be back next week. On Wednesday, 16th November, 1-2 pm in room S8.08 (Strand Building), Sarah Lewis, from the English Department, will convene a round table on the topic of kairos (the opportune moment) and duration in early modern literature and culture. Speakers include Jenny Hardy (English, ‘Duration and Pregnancy’), Tom Colville (History, ‘The Flash of Genius’), Joanne Paul (History – University of Sussex, ‘Decorum, Temporising, and Policy’), and Sarah Lewis herself (‘Kairos and the Moment of Revenge in Jacobean Drama’). We hope many of you will join us for this most interesting event. Tea and coffee, as always, will be provided!
