'Burton and Montaigne: resources for scepticism in the early eighteenth century'

Christopher Tilmouth is Senior Lecturer in Literature and Philosophy and Literature and Intellectual History. He is also currently a Fellow in English at Peterhouse. Over the past twelve months, Christopher has been preparing essays on Sterne, Mackenzie and Godwin's engagement with sentimentalism, on the literary aspects of the argument in Mandeville's Fable of the Bees, and on the impact of humoural ideas of melancholy on the work of Swift, Pope and Sterne. These projects will form part of a future monograph.

All welcome. Refreshments will be available in BS/008 fifteen minutes before the start of the seminar.
