Flights of fancy: ballooning and aerial imagination
|
Lecture by Clare Brant
Professor of English, King’s College London
Clare Brant’s research interests cover all sorts of topics: she has published articles on duelling, dialogues, smell, elections, travel and murder. Her most recent publication is a major book on eighteenth-century letter-writing, including many forms of letter-writing not usually thought of in literary terms, like religious, political and historical letters. She is still interested in epistolary writings, and in other genres of life-writing like memoir and biography.
She is currently writing a book on ballooning. Her most recent publications are: Eighteenth-Century Letters and British Culture(Palgrave Macmillan 2006) and (with Susan E Whyman) Walking the Streets of Eighteenth-Century London: John Gay’s Trivia(1716) (Oxford University Press 2007) – an interdisciplinary essay collection and new edition of John Gay’s comic epic poem about London.
