Professor Barry Hough, BU Professorial Inaugural Lecture
Coleridge in Malta: The laws and
public notices of Coleridge's Malta
period
After leaving office as Acting Public Secretary in Malta,
Coleridge complained that he knew “by heart the awkward & wicked machinery by
which all our affairs abroad are carried on”. In this lecture, and drawing on
previously undiscovered archives, Professor Barry Hough will explore one of the
crises of 1805, which prompted Coleridge’s dilemma as to whether governmental
action should ever be inconsistent with, and prevail over, the published laws.
The full programme for the evening, based at Talbot Campus, will be:
5.15 to 6.00pm Tea
and coffee in the Atrium
6.00pm to 7.00pm Lecture in the Shelley Lecture Theatre
7.00pm Buffet Reception
