Elizabeth Bishop in Glasgow: A Symposium
June 26 - June 28 2024
Elizabeth Bishop in Glasgow: A Symposium
The event will bring scholars, students, writers, translators and readers from around the world together to explore the work of American poet, Elizabeth Bishop (1911-79).
The Glasgow location offers, for the first time, an opportunity to consider Bishop’s work in a Scottish-Atlantic critical, cultural and historical context and to explore the profound influence of Scottish poets such as Robert Burns – whose poems Bishop was familiar with from childhood – on her own style. Equally, the Symposium will consider the influence that Bishop and her contemporaries had on Scottish writers up to the present day.
