Senate House Library, London
Pascal Theatre Company announces a free talk: Collective Emotions: Jane Harrison, a talk on the interplay of myth and ritual in Ancient Greece by Sue Blundell.
Tuesday 19 November at 5.30pm at Senate House Library, Bloomsbury.
Jane Harrison is part of the history of Bloomsbury, and of women’s university education in the late nineteenth century. She studied under Sir Charles Newton at the British Museum; and it was largely on account of the talks which she herself gave at the Museum that she won a fellowship at Newnham College Cambridge in 1898.
Sue Blundell will be channelling Harrison and discussing her life and her cutting-edge theories on Greek art, ritual and myth.
Sue Blundell is a playwright and academic writer. For many years she lectured in Classical Studies at Birkbeck University of London and at the Open University. Her books include Women in Ancient Greece and The Sacred and the Feminine in Ancient Greece.
