Wordsworth's 'Prelude', Book IV (1805), led by Kate McLoughlin
When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck 43 Gordon Square
No booking required
Dr Kate McLoughlin, Senior Lecturer in Modern literature, is an expert on War Studies currently working on the history of the veteran. The reading group was an interesting opportunity to get a sense of how a scholar who works mainly in twentieth-century literature understands an eighteenth-century text as participating in the broader cultural history of the returning soldier, so we encouraged those working outside of the eighteenth century to come along.
The text we read was a short extract from William Wordsworth’s The Prelude Book IV (1805)
