Vesuvius 22

🌋Volcanic Eruption, 22 October 1822: a very inspiring TORCH Environmental Humanities Hub conference marking the centenary yesterday: C19 sciences, technologies, and spectacles of fire to capture lava forced out by elastic fluids, horrid engine noises, extraordinary fire & cloud shapes Elisa Cozzi

🌋🧡such an inspiring day at Vesuvius 22 ! So many great papers and conversations! Thank you thank you Elisa Cozzi David Pyle and Fiona! 🧡🌋

Fantastic day out Vesuvius 22 ! Twining intersections between science, writing and imagery amongst the fields of scoria. Here’s a few slides for your Friday reading pleasure! Bravo speakers!

Finally en route to Vesuvius 22 and really excited to hear a day of fantastic-looking papers, and to share some of my research on the scientific imagination and on Charlotte Murchison, whose work ‘reformed the Geological Society, and afterwards the world’!

Vesuvius 22 Bodleian Libraries Elisa Cozzi Every exhibition should have some humour; so I was amused to re-unite Isaac Jamineau, Consul to Naples 1753-1779 with Sir William Hamilton, Ambassador to Naples, 1764-1800 in this display. By all accounts the two men didn't get on, though both shared a keen interest in #Vesuvius .

Vesuvius 22 Bodleian Libraries Elisa Cozzi It was great fun to assemble this display with Elisa Cozzi and the magnificent Bodleian Libraries exhibitions team, to mark the 1822 eruption of Vesuvius. Vesuvius 22

Our #Vesuvius22 exhibit is now open! Featuring lapilli from 1822, P.B. Shelley’s famous letter on Vesuvius, Hamilton’s notebooks, stunning Vesuvian watercolours, and more! Location: Weston Library Transept. Free admission, all welcome. Bodleian Libraries David Pyle Elisa Cozzi

Writing a paper on women and volcanoes for Vesuvius 22 and just SO grateful for Carl Thompson's brilliant work on Maria Graham (on earthquakes, but that's good enough!). It will be much-cited during the talk!

🌋Public Lecture🌋
As part of the TORCH Vesuvius 22 Project Vesuvius 22 #Vesuvius22 Dr Will Bowers (Queen Mary University of London) will explore the significance of Vesuvius, and volcanoes more generally, to the literature and culture of the
Romantic Period (1770–1830).

There's something magical about notebooks. Here, William Hamilton ends some notes on a trip to the volcanic #Ponza islands in 1785 with a caution for the observer of the 'dangerous error of limiting the order of Nature to our confined ideas'. #HistSci doi.org/10.1098/rstl.1…
