When:
—
Venue:
Birkbeck 43 Gordon Square
No booking required
This event is part of Birkbeck Arts Week 2019 - see the full programme.
What was it? How did we find it? And who had it? Syphilis is a disease whose symptoms and circumstances, across the centuries, made it peculiarly compelling and challenging to understand. How do we analyse something so deeply mythologised? Speakers include Peter Fifield (Birkbeck).
