Last week we were thrilled to welcome Professor Josephine Quinn to deliver our 10th Sir Jeremy Morse Lecture! Jo gave a fascinating talk on the development of the discipline of Ancient History throughout the 18th century, tracing its gradual narrowing from a broad geographical scope to focusing mainly on Greece and Rome.

📣 NEW EVENT 📣

For our 10th Annual Sir Jeremy Morse Lecture, the IGRCT is delighted to welcome Professor Josephine Quinn to speak on "The Provincialisation of Ancient History, or an Enlightenment Tragedy."

Ancient History was both hugely popular in the early eighteenth century and understood in a very broad geographical sense. By the early nineteenth century it belonged to Greece and Rome, and had become the preserve of the wealthy and well-educated. What happened, and whose fault was it?

The event is free and open to all, and will also be livestreamed.
