The ERCC is delighted to note that unit Co-Director and Lead Researcher, Professor Clara Tuite, will deliver a keynote lecture entitled 'Regency She-Kings: Byron, Keats and the Poetry of Voluptuousness', and Executive Director, Professor Peter Otto, will give an associated public lecture, 'The Architecture of Suffering: Matthew Lewis, Catherine Blake, and William Blake on rebirth, ruination, and loss'.
