Literature & Visual Cultures this Thursday (12th November)

The next session of the Literature and Visual Cultures Research Seminar will take place this Thursday, 12 November, 6 pm, in Senate House, London, Room 261.

We’re pleased to host two papers on modernist figures whose work spans disciplines.

Professor Angela Smith (Stirling), ‘“They couldn’t see the forest for looking at the trees”: Emily Carr’s colonial modernism’

Elliott Morsia (Royal Holloway), ‘D. H. Lawrence and visionary awareness: “not so much because of his achievement as because of his struggle”’
