‘Poetry and Periodicals’: Tennyson and the Literary Marketplace
As the most famous poet of his age, Tennyson was caught up in the new celebrity culture fuelled by periodicals. The talk will discuss the fraught relationships between writers and magazines, such as The Cornhill, characteristic of the nineteenth century.
To mark the closing of 'Outrageously Modern! Avant-Garde Magazines that Shocked Britain 1884-1922,' Palace Green Library and the Department of English Studies would like to welcome you to a closing series of public exhibition talks.
Entry to the talks is included in our usual admission charge but seating is limited and available on a first-come-first-served basis. We regret that it is not possible to reserve seats.
