Romanticism and Visual Culture
St Hugh's College Oxford, 10 June 2000
'Romanticism and Visual Culture' aims at providing a forum for
interdisciplinary explorations of visual spectacles, practices,
apparatuses in the romantic period.
The conference will investigate the role of visuality and spectacle in a
series of connected activities, and an itinerary of cultural pleasures. It
will explore the interface between visual and other media - how, for
instance, reading illustrated editions intersected with visiting literary
galleries, operas and other entertainments. Speakers are invited to
present papers on visual/verbal interfaces, panoramas, museums, pleasure
gardens, literary galleries, patterns of collecting, processions,
transparencies, galas, the Eidophusikon, circuses, masquerades and operas.
Marius Kwint (History of Art, Oxford) has agreed to speak about the
circus in the Romantic period. Jon Mee (University College / English
Faculty, Oxford) has agreed to speak about Blake and Marcus Wood
(Sussex University) on visual representations of the slave trade as part
of a panel on graphic Romanticism.
