The meeting will be led by James Waddell, a fourth-year PhD student in the UCL English department whose research explores attention and distraction in early modern romances by Sidney, Spenser, Wroth, and others.

Early Modern English Reading Group (EMERG) warmly invites all staff and students with an interest in the literature and history of the Renaissance in England and beyond.

A reading packet will be circulated in advance of the meetings to attendees who register their interest by contacting either Fraser McIlwraith (fraser.mcilwraith.15@ucl.ac.uk) or Kate Kinley (catherine.kinley.19@ucl.ac.uk). 

Registration is essential due to restrictions on numbers in FC 239, so please make sure to get in touch if you want to attend. All are welcome to join – the Reading Group has always been an informal occasion. We look forward to seeing as many people there as possible!
