Join us for a drink and discussion about literature and art in the twentieth century, tracing the threads of romanticism as it twists and turns throughout modernist works. This month we’ll be thinking about neo-romantic modernisms and their interaction with mythology.

We are delighted to invite thinkers of all disciplines to contribute this month to a discussion about the way Ancient Greek mythology is used in Romanticism and throughout modernist works.

We will look at several short but significant texts as a catalyst for this conversation. All readings will be made available for participants ahead of time and circulated via email.

To register your attendance, please email neorommod@gmail.com or sign up by clicking the 'Register Now' button on this page.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Information about this month's image:

The aim of our network is to explore the influence of romanticism on modernist texts. Our logo reflects this impulse, with fragments of romantic works in a collage that incorporates elements of modernity. This month's reading group sees a fragment of the German Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich's famous oil painting 'Wanderer above the Sea of Fog' looking out over 'Prometheus Bound' (1847) by Thomas Cole.
