Conversation, Georgian style

Posted on 2 May 2018

Professor John Mee and Dr Chloe Wigston Smith from the Department of English are hosting an event on Thursday 3rd May, at York's glorious, and newly-refurbished, Mansion House.

They will guide audience members through the Georgian art of conversation, and invite members of the public to join them in enjoying the pleasures of salon - including a glass of fizz!
