The classical tradition is conceived as the theme which unifies the history of Western civilisation. The bias is not towards ‘classical’ values in art and literature: students and scholars will find represented all the strands that link medieval and modern civilisation with its origins in the ancient cultures of the Near East and the Mediterranean.

The Magical Library presents – the ghosts of Senate House Sarah Sparkes Celebrated psychical researcher, amateur conjurer and paper bag salesman Harry Price left his library of magical literature, to the University of London on his death in 1948. Artist Sarah Sparkes has been researching the Price bequest and is creating her own ‘Magical Library for the 21st Century’.

Inspired by Price’s ghost-hunting activities Sparkes’ Magical Library will be showing a number of specially created writings, recordings, artwork, artefacts, and other contributions documenting ghosts and other apocryphal stories emanating from Senate House and immediate surrounds. These works have been created by Output Arts, Magick Concrète (English Heretic and Mark Pilkington), Peter Suchin, Chris Roberts (One Eye Grey), Sarah Sparkes and others.

Members of the public can visit this Magical Library, and browse its contents, during the Bloomsbury Festival, when it will be displayed against the backdrop of Charles Holden’s impressive Crush Hall at the heart of iconic Senate House.

The Institute of Historical Research will be holding a special exhibition in celebration of its 90th birthday. Founded in 1921 by A F Pollard, the IHR has established itself to be a leading national resource for historical research and has worked to provide an accessible and stimulating portal for the exchange of ideas and information and current developments in historical scholarship. Now one of 10 member institutes of the School of Advanced Study, the IHR supports two research centres: the Victoria County History (VCH) and the Centre for Metropolitan History (CMH) and also hosts a range of projects. Our exhibition will present the Institute’s story through a series of photographs and newspaper articles from its birth in 1921 to the present. From 1930s press cuttings from national newspapers charting the key moments of the IHR, to documents and photographs recording the Institute’s survival through wartime Britain, this exhibition promises to be an exciting insight into the IHR’s own history over the past 90 years.

The leafy London squares, their parks alight with colour in the autumn, present a historical sequence from the 17th century onwards. Many owe their design and planting to Humphry Repton (1725–1837), the most important landscape gardener of his time. Changes were made during Victorian times, and some squares were affected in World War II. More recently, English Heritage has worked hard to restore parks to their original designs and planting. Our tour, led by the IHR’s garden and architectural historians, will follow up the work of Repton, Cubitt and others, and will focus around Russell, Bedford, Gordon and Tavistock Squares. We will endeavour to follow the wartime story, and enjoy the restoration of the 18th-century ideas with some 20th and 21st century additions.

Scott Wood Have you seen the Blue Lady of Senate House or witnessed the ghostly footprints in the Field of the Forty Footsteps? Join Scott Wood, London ghost and folklore expert on a ghost walk taking in sites of alleged hauntings and other un-explained phenomena emanating from Senate House and falling within its shadow. The tour will begin in Russell Square and meander the byways around Senate House before heading into the building itself. The tour is linked to artist Sarah Sparkes’ Magical Library project, which has been made in response to the Harry Price bequest at Senate House Library. Harry Price was, amongst other things, an infamous ghost-hunter and in tribute to this Sparkes and fellow researchers Chris Josiffe and Scott Wood have been uncovering ghostly, apocryphal tales in an exploration of the spirit of place.

Rudyard Kipling: an international writer Keynote Speakers: Amit Chaudhuri and Charles Allen This conference, sponsored by the Kipling Society, focuses on the figure of Kipling as an international writer. It seeks not only to re-assess Kipling’s involvement in imperial ideology, but also to examine his interests in wider international affairs and his connections with foreign locations both within and outside the British Empire. The conference thereby aims to re-examine his work and achievement by exploring his diverse roles as an internationalist, and by considering his relevance to our post-modern globalising world.

Ruins in 20th-century British art and fiction This conference proposes to analyse the hybrid function of ruins as they shift from sublime metonymies to broken hints of shattered times and troubled consciousness, focusing not only on the visual motif of ruins but on the function of citation as an attempt to include the ruined pieces of bygone art and cultural systems, whether the purpose be to “shore fragments” against ruin, as in the case of Modernism, or to challenge and deconstruct present exhaustion and past master discourses, as in the case of post-modernism.

Register: jill.kraye@sas.ac.uk Albinia de la Mare (1932–2001) OBE, FBA was one of the 20th century’s outstanding palaeographers and the world’s leading authority on Italian Renaissance manuscripts. Among her greatest achievements was tracing the careers of hundreds of scribes writing the new humanist script in Italy during the 15th century. The purpose of this conference is to honour her contribution to research and to illustrate how the main areas of her scholarly interests – the palaeography, humanism and manuscript illumination of the Italian Renaissance – have developed in the ten years since her death.

George Eliot conference: The Lifted Veil and Silas Marner This conference will discuss two of George Eliot’s most intriguing and contrasting works of shorter fiction: The Lifted Veil published in 1859, and Silas Marner (1861). Narrated through the jejune and alienated central presence of Latimer, who has foreseen the date of his own death, The Lifted Veil draws on both supernatural and Gothic tropes in a tale that prefigures the complex psychological portraits of Eliot’s later novels. Written while Eliot was in mourning for her sister Christiana, it is often cited as her most uncharacteristic work, with the author herself remarking that it was ‘not a jeu d’esprit, but a jeu de melancolie.’ A more redemptive kind of sadness dominates Silas Marner, however, with its themes of exile, community and history, and marks a return to recognisable Eliot. Published in April 1861, it was praised by Henry James as being ‘more nearly a masterpiece’ than any other of Eliot’s oeuvre, having ‘that simple, rounded, consummate aspect . . . which marks a classical work.’

Yet beneath this fairytale simplicity exists a complex Comtean system of values that considers the nature of the individual and society; and of inheritance, both personal and parental.

First person writing, four-way reading Organisers: Naomi Segal (Birkbeck), François-Joseph Ruggiu (FR), Petter Aaslestad (NO), Kristin Kuutma (EE) Keynote speakers include: Arianne Baggerman (NL), Rita Charon (USA), Marie Darrieussecq, Brian Hurwitz (UK), Alexander Kiossev (BG), Giorgio Pressburger (IT), Nigel Rapport (UK); Philip Rieder (CH), Michael Sheringham (UK), Amy Shuman (USA), Claudia Ulbrich (DE), Yuri Zaretsky (RU) This conference brings together scholars from four academic fields – literature, history, medical humanities and ethnography – and from 23 countries – to discuss a common object of research: first-person writing. Four keynote speakers, 16 invited panellists and 45 break-out panellists will present papers and there will be four workshops. The term ‘writing’ is meant literally: the firstperson material on which the project focuses is textual rather than oral, whether published or unpublished. The time-period covered is from the early modern period to the present day. Though the language of the conference will be English, material in any language may be referred to (using originals, translations and/ or parallel texts). The term ‘reading’ is meant primarily in a metaphorical sense: how do scholars from these four fields investigate, interpret or, more broadly, ‘use’ first-person texts, what differences can be found in their methods and applications, and how can they debate these commonalities and differences in fruitful ways? It is hoped that, after the conference, further international and interdisciplinary research collaboration will be developed.

Walker (1914–85) published seminal works that contributed to redefining our view of early modern magic and demonology, such as Spiritual and Demonic Magic from Ficino to Campanella (1958), Decline of Hell (1964) and Unclean Spirits: Possession and Exorcism in France and England in the Late 16th and Early 17th Centuries (1981). This conference intends to celebrate his legacy by presenting the most recent results by young researchers working at the Warburg Institute.

Crisis, response and recovery: a decade on from the Argentinazo 2001–11 Keynote: Maristella Vampa (National Center for Scientific and Technical Research (CONICET), Argentina; Universidad Nacional de la Plata) As the 10th anniversary of the 2001 economic crash approaches, this one-day conference co-organised by the Argentine Students Research Network and the Institute for the Study of the Americas will bring together scholars and professionals working on Argentina from a range of disciplines to debate and discuss short and long-term response to crisis and subsequent trajectories of recovery. The term ‘response’ is not limited to the sphere of economic/ political economy, but also encompasses the societal, cultural and literary fields In view of the current financial crisis in the West, this country-focused and timely conference proposes to analyse the effects of crisis and how it can be addressed, with a view to examining and reflecting on the ways in which recovery is undertaken in societal, cultural, economic and political spheres.

10 December 2011 09:30–19:00 Institute of English Studies Conference / Symposium Chancellor’s Hall

The Singing Detective The 25th anniversary of the six-part series The Singing Detective, written by Dennis Potter and directed by Jon Amiel, occurs Nov-Dec 2011. As result of its narrative complexity, generic hybridity and formal experimentation, this is commonly regarded as a piece of landmark television set to inspire and influence a range of subsequent television drama. The purpose of this one-day symposium is to explore the context in which the production occurred, assess the significance of the series and examine its subsequent influence upon new kinds of ‘anti-naturalist’ television drama. To this end, the event will bring together a mixture of practitioners and scholars to debate these issues. It is planned that these should include the co-producer of the series, Ken Trodd, the then Head of BBC Television Drama (and current Head of the Department of Media Arts at Royal Holloway), Jonathan Powell, and, subject to availability, the director, Jon Amiel, and actor, Michael Gambon. We would also wish to involve those who have written about the programme, such as John Cook and Glen Creeber, and television more generally, such as John Ellis, along with creators who have clearly been influenced by the series (such as the writer Peter Bowker). It is also planned that papers and interviews from the conference will form the basis of a special issue of the Journal of Screenwriting to be co-edited by Adam Ganz, John Ellis and John Hill.

This conference, held in collaboration with the Society for Court Studies, brings together a range of international historians to look at the peculiar yet influential institution of the male royal consort from Ferdinand of Castile through to the famous examples of the 18th century such as Prince George of Denmark, and onto contemporary personalities in western Europe. Our interest lies in studying how male partners of female monarchs have had and used power, how gender affected their perceived role, what sort of court and political influence they were able to wield and attract, how they often defined themselves in distinctive spheres of the arts or war, and more generally, the extent to which they contributed to the changing ideal and reality of royal families and dynasties over the centuries.
