Full steam ahead: Professor John Gardner close-reading Romantic machines in his British Association for Romantic Studies #BARSGlasgow2024 keynote, showing how literary and engineering ambitions went hand in hand in the period (as in P. B. Shelley’s steamboat project, pictured).
Another really striking plenary at the British Association for Romantic Studies conference, this time by Professor John Gardner who masterfully weaves together vernacular scientific, technical knowledge and literature.
