The Centre for Literary Editing and the Materiality of the Text at the University of Birmingham is delighted to announce an upcoming research seminar on Wednesday 5 May, from 5-7pm via Zoom.
Professor Clare Pettitt (Kings College London) will present new work from her ongoing monograph series on serial form in nineteenth-century culture, media, history and politics. Entitled ‘Moving Pictures: Serial Revolutions in 1848’, this talk will focus on the international circulation of printed images of the European revolutions of 1848, arguing that the new visual praxis of stereotype printing was key to creating a sense of connectivity and identity across Europe at mid-century.
The first instalment of the larger project, Prof Pettitt’s book Serial Forms: The Unfinished Project of Modernity, 1815-1848 was published by Oxford University Press last year. Full details of her talk for CLEMT and a link to register for the Zoom meeting can be found online here.
All are most welcome!
