The Eighteenth Century: Past and Present
Convenor: Professor Mark Knights (Dept of History, ÌÇÐÄTV)
This workshop will explore various aspects of the relevance of, and ways of presenting, the C18th for a modern audience and how past and present interact. So we shall explore how the C18th helps/hinders us to think about contemporary issues, how aspects of the C18th are presented/represented in any form now, parallels/discontinuities between past and present, how to tackle commemorations of C18th events, and C18th issues which still have purchase on current debates etc.
The workshop is free to attend. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
