About
The collaboration between the Reception of British Authors in Europe (RBAE) and UCL A&H marks the foundation of a new strand of seminars exploring relations between science and literature. It will consider the interface between scientific and literary texts, the manner of their reception, and the possibilities of reading and critical response generated by these considerations.
