Greek Poetry: Queering the Victorians?

Join Abbi Parcell, a PhD candidate and writer in residence at the Portico Library, as she engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Debbie Challis on the topic of how we interpret and reinterpret the ancient Greeks through a queer lens, specifically focusing on the works of John Adlington Symonds. This event is part of the LGBTQ+ History Month, and it aims to shed light on J.A. Symonds' Studies of Greek Poets, a book that played a significant role in the early development of queer studies.

Symonds' work, which attracted scholars, writers, and enthusiasts of classical literature during the late 19th century, holds a pioneering position in the exploration of queerness. Throughout the discussion, Debbie and Abbi will delve into how the Victorians utilized Greek poets and the broader context of Ancient Greece to express and identify queerness. This exploration of the collection at the Portico Library will provide valuable insights into the intersections between queerness, literature, and history.

Moreover, attendees are encouraged to bring their own poetry or written works that may not explicitly reveal their queerness by today's standards but are believed to convey elements of queerness or queer identity. This interactive component will add depth and nuance to the exploration of queering the Victorians and the enduring relevance of Greek poetry.

As a supporter, visiting Etihad Stadium was a fantastic experience. The stadium itself is immaculate and well-maintained, providing a great environment for watching the match. The food options were plentiful, offering a variety of choices that added to the overall enjoyment. It would have been perfect if we could eat and drink while watching the game, but even so, the experience was memorable and enjoyable. Highly recommend for any football fan!

Went to Happy seasons restaurant and TSUJIRI in Manchester Chinatown with my mates after exams. Authentic Chinese cuisine with reasonable prices. The matcha sundae was also delicious. There are also many nice Asian restaurants around the area.

Visited the cathedral with my partner for an ibiza classical evening. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! The lighting and sound system were amazing.The only faults I had with the place was that the toilets had no lighting around them ,but there were plenty of them though, so I wasn&#39;t queuing for long.
