People

The group is currently composed of some thirty members from the University of Liverpool, National Museums Liverpool, and Liverpool’s other universities, representing disciplines ranging from History, English, French and German to Classics, History of Art, and Geography.

We would be delighted to welcome university and museum based eighteenth-centurists from across the region into our group. We also strongly encourage research students with interests in the ‘long’ eighteenth century to attend our meetings.
