Seminario Reviving The Liberal

As a renowned scholar in the field of Romantic literature whose work closely aligns with the focus of the PRIN research project on The Liberal, Professor Nicholas Roe (University of St Andew)  will deliver a seminar lecture examining how The Liberal may have influenced his 1828 volume on Lord Byron. In particular, Hazlitt’s “My First Acquaintance” and Hunt’s Letters from Abroad will be considered as crucial enablers for Hunt’s work on the Lord Byron volume, while the “failure” of The Liberal will be discussed as a factor that, in many respects, opened up creative space for Hunt’s subsequent work. The lecture will be addressed to all members of the research group, involving the Universities of Bologna, Parma, La Sapienza Rome, Pisa, and Florence, and will also be open to UNIBO faculty and students. In addition, Professor Roe will lead a specialised workshop devoted to the annotation work being carried out by the various units as the final output of the project. The workshop will focus on the reading, analysis, transcription, and critical annotation of the periodical and will be open to all project members as well as to the wider academic community.
