Paul Seaward on "The History of the Rebellion" by Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon
Hayley2020 Online Conference
Thu 12 November 2020 - Fri 13 November 2020
Fitzwilliam Museum
Hugely influential in his time, Hayley is now mostly remembered for persuading William Blake to move to the Sussex coast, commissioning illustrations and prints from him and driving him to distraction. But there is much more to the man who wrote (in verse) a runaway bestseller advising young women on how to attract and keep a husband, refused the poet laureateship for political reasons, and was the first person to publish an English translation of a long extract from Dante’s Inferno.
Join us online on November 12 and 13 for a series of online presentations and discussions about Hayley and his world. NB: Pre-recorded material will be available on a password-protected site to view from Thursday 5 November.
