We are thrilled to announce the lineup for this year's Late Summer Lecture Series! Running from the 18th of August to 6th of October, our theme this year is on The Past, Present, and Future. Critical and contextual history is integral to literature of all periods - from medievalism to utopias and dystopias. Our lecture series will cover literatures throughout history, discussing the inextricable relationship between temporality and literature.

Lectures will be accessible at 5:30 BST during these weeks on Zoom, with an EventBrite link to be available very shortly!
