Writing Materials: Women of Letters from Enlightenment to Modernity
King’s College London and V&A, 29-30 November 2012

This interdisciplinary colloquium will explore the tools and environments of women’s writing in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.  It aims to create new connections between texts and material objects, linking intellectual history with its material medium–paper, quills, desks, letter-cases, ink and inkwells.

Speakers and participants:

Pamela Clemit (University of Durham)
Dena Goodman (University of Michigan)
Peter Stallybrass (University of Pennsylvania)
Karen Harvey (University of Sheffield)
Clare Brant (King’s College London)
