Description: Jane Harrison is part of the history of Bloomsbury, and of women’s university education in the late nineteenth century. She studied under Sir Charles Newton at the British Museum; and it was largely on account of the talks which she herself gave at the Museum that she won a fellowship at Newnham College Cambridge in 1898. After retirement she moved back to Bloomsbury, and from 1925 lived on Mecklenburgh Street with her partner Hope Mirrlees. In Sue Blundell’s talk she will be channelling Harrison and discussing her life and her cutting-edge theories on Greek art, ritual and myth.
