Hazlitt Day-School

England’s Missing Critic: Tenth Hazlitt Day-School

This year marks a decade since the founding of the Hazlitt Day-School by Uttara Natarajan, Tom Paulin and Duncan Wu in 2001. This is a particularly special occasion, and the organizers hope to welcome back a large number of our regular attendees, as well as new participants. The Day-School provides a rare opportunity for Hazlittians to meet each other and to exchange ideas.

There are usually two plenary speakers, and four lecturers who deliver shorter papers. Although a good deal is included in the course of the day, the pace is comparatively relaxed: the fee includes morning coffee, lunch, and afternoon tea, all of which provide an opportunity for those attending the day school to discuss their shared interest in Hazlitt. Past speakers have included Jonathan Bate, Simon Bainbridge, David Bromwich, Jon Cook, Gregory Dart, A.C. Grayling, Tim Milnes, Seamus Perry, Uttara Natarajan, Tom Paulin, and John Whale.

This year, the organizers will host a wine reception to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of the Day-School.

Speakers

The plenary lecturers at the 2010 Day School are John Whale, author of Imagination Under Pressure, 1789-1832 (2000) and John Keats (2004), and Uttara Natarajan, editor of The Hazlitt Review and author of Hazlitt and the Reach of Sense (1998). Shorter papers and readings will be delivered by Stephen Burley, Ian Patel, Tom Paulin, Marcus Tomalin, and Neil Vickers.  All sessions will be chaired by John Barnard.
