Dear Cohort,
I woke up this morning thinking how I am extremely pleased to be working with this group. I have enjoyed (and am enjoying) the company of people who each individually seem like great academics and scholars, and are absolutely lovely to boot. I can’t help thinking that this must be the perfect cohort to live and work with.

Katie Price Performing her Great Plenary Lecture
Today there has been another set of fantastic lectures. I’ll let the pictures do the talking when it comes to narrating the day. To my project, specifically, I’ve pretty much solidified my time period as the Romantic period in Literature. It straddles the significant ‘1800′ date in the History of Medicine that Stephanie was talking about. This event is really helping me find my feet in a new discipline. I need to talk to my supervisor to confirm my suspicions but it feels as though, since there was a great change in Medicine around 1800 (particularly as technology was used more in the diagnosis and treatment of ailments) something must be reflected in the literature in relation to transplant or that precursory to transplant at any rate.
A Gladsnow was also built by Will and Sarah, which I documented but I really don’t feel as though I should put those images on my blog. Check out theirs!
