Yesterday, Nicholas Halmi @ox.ac.uk spoke on "Bordering Romanticism" @uni-jena.de. It was a fruitful exchange between the research group "European Romanticism or Romanticisms in Europe?", which focuses on the visual arts, & Halmi’s literary perspectives on the unity & heterogeneity of Romanticism.

What a pleasure to study William Blake's unique illustrations for Thomas Gray's poem "The Bard" at the YCBA. Blake inserted the printed text into a cutout in the centre of a larger sheet of watercolor paper, an absolutely novel way of approaching the relationship between text and image.

What a joy to study all the material on epistemic images in the New Haven Medical Library. Many thanks to Laura Phillips, curator for the visual arts, for showing me the library and for the great conversation about scientists as artists.
