Booking is now open for our next PGRS, on Wednesday 13 March! Join us to hear from Dr Mina Gorji on 'Darkling Listening: Keats and the Poetry of Evening'.
Find the full details here 👇eventbrite.com/e/postgraduat…
ALT Typographic poster showing details of the event: Postgraduate Research Seminar Dr Mina Gorji Darkling Listening: Keats and the Poetry of Evening 5 to 6pm, 13 March 2024, followed by refreshments Rehearsal Room 2, ArtsOne, QMUL Mile End Campus In "Ode to a Nightingale", Keats describes listening darkling. But what did that mean? Does darkling describe the listener or the quality of the listening? This paper places Keats’ darkling listening in a wider sensory and literary historical context in order to hear it afresh and as part of a longer literary history of listening. It is part of a larger book project, funded by a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship, which explores the forms, histories and dynamics of listening in and to Romantic period lyric.
