A talk about the archives of John Addington Symonds

Details

John Addington Symonds (1840-1893) was a writer, poet, literary critic, cultural historian and early pioneer of homosexual rights. He was born in Bristol, and Clifton Hill House in Clifton was his home for much of his life.

Archivists Alexander Taylor and Nicky Sugar at the University of Bristol library have recently completed re-cataloguing their large collection of Symonds' personal papers. Their talk will bring to life new information about Symonds' life and work.

The talk is free and open to everyone.
