Upcoming Talks and Conferences
None for a while, fortunately!
Just got back from two wonderful conferences: “The Translator Made Corporeal: Translation History and the Archive” at the British Library (8 May 2017) and “Translation Meets Book History: Intersections 1700-1900” at NUI Galway (25-26 May 2017).
Might be in Belfast in the fall for a talk. Nothing else planned.
