Reading Female Hunger in Contemporary Irish Poetry & Lord Alfred Douglas, Winchester College and the Making of a Uranian Poet

A lecture by Ellen Orchard and Shey Pope-Mayell (School of English, TCD) as part of the English Staff-Postgraduate Seminar Series.

This weeks seminar will cover two lectures: ‘How a Good Confession used to feel – fierce light’: Reading Female Hunger in Contemporary Irish Poetry and ‘A Very Savage Place’: Lord Alfred Douglas, Winchester College and the Making of a Uranian Poet.

English Staff-Postgraduate Seminar Series is a fortnightly meeting which has been integral to the School of English research community since the 1990s. The aim of the seminar series is to provide a relaxed and convivial atmosphere for staff and students to present their research to their peers. The series also welcomes distinguished guest lecturers from the academic community outside Trinity College to present on their work. It is a fantastic opportunity to share ideas and engage with the diverse research taking place within the School.
