It's publication day! What a surreal, amazing feeling this is.

I can't quite believe I'm saying this but: I wrote a book! And it's being published this May!

It's about Rome, its enduring appeal, the many different ways it has been interpreted, and how understanding this helps us see both the past and the world today more clearly.

Looking forward to thinking about Romanticism and Its Afterlives this afternoon and for the rest of the week at this great looking conference! Still time to sign up if you’re quick: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/romanticis...

Conference poster with a kneeling Blake figure gesturing smaller figures up into a flame - so like Romanticism generating its own afterlives?
