This year Cambridge's Early Modern French Seminar, convened by Jess
Goodman and Tim Chesters, is inspired by objects held in the Fitzwilliam
Museum. As described on the CEMFS website: "Each
talk takes as its starting point an artefact
held in the museum, ranging from cabinets to paintings to duelling
pistols. Our exciting line-up covers the sixteenth, seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, and includes specialists in literature and art
history, as well as representatives from the Fitzwilliam itself." It
sounds like a lovely idea for a seminar series and I'm only sorry I
can't attend them all, but I am delighted to be contributing one of the
talks.
For more information about the talks and speakers, along with links to the objects in the Fitzwilliam that will be the focus of each talk visit: www.cemfs.org.uk/termcard.
