EP Warren’s Classical Erotica

This is a recording of the keynote lecture from the 2017 OutStories Bristol Annual General Meeting. The lecture is titled “EP Warren's Classical Erotica: LGBT+ activism and objects from the past” and is given by Dr. Jen Grove of Exeter University. A copy of the slides can be downloaded here.

In addition to being part of our AGM, the lecture was given to celebrate the birthday in 1840 of John Addington Symonds, Bristol-born writer, art historian and pioneer of homosexual rights. Mr. Symonds birthday is celebrated annually by the Institute of Greece, Rome, and the Classical Tradition at the University of Bristol who also provided the venue and refreshments. Our thanks to both Dr. Grove for a fascinating lecture, and to the Institute for the arrangements.
