Representing Volume: Loud and soft in the Romantic period

Dr Mina Gorji (University of Cambridge, English Literature), British Academy-funded researcher

Saturday 13 July, 11.30–12.15pm, Library

How do we describe the volume of sound? How do we experience volume when we read a poem? Through listening, mark-making, sound and writing exercises, and with demonstrations from Foley artist Rebecca Glover, explore how we can represent volume on paper using the poetry, music and rhetoric of the Romantic period as inspiration.
