‘Anna Laetitia Barbauld: Voicing Dissent’
A conference is being held in King’s Manor by one of our strategic partners: the Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies, University of York, on 27-28 June.
We have negotiated free entry to two events in the programme for our Members.
Barbauld (1743-1825) was a renowned Georgian poet and writer on literary and political matters, who supported the abolition of slavery. She was also an editor of literary works by others and influential writer for children. Notably Barbauld had connections with the Unitarian community at York. This conference is designed to coincide with the completion of an edition of her Collected Works in four volumes, published by Oxford University Press.
