17:30 for food and refreshments and 18:00-19:00 (GMT) for the lecture itself.

Buckingham House,  Murray Edwards College, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge CB3 0DF

The lecture will focus on the skill of analysing unseen poetry which is utilised when studying English, Modern and Medieval Languages and Classics degrees at Cambridge. Students interested in any of these courses or who who are currently studying poetry will benefit from seeing how these skills are taught at University. 

This lecture will be delivered by Dr Charlotte Lee, one of Murray Edwards'  Directors of Studies and Fellows of German. Dr Lee's primary focus is German literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with a particular emphasis on poetry. She is currently working on a study of the relationship between poetry and physical movement. The project looks at poetry in German, English and French.
