As a Scottish person I can't believe that I had never heard of Joanna Baillie before. Why can't we get some of this alongside our mandatory Burns lessons?
One of my favorite memories of my studies here in York was learning about Baillie’s Plays on the Passions.
Come along tomorrow at 5pm BST to this exciting @bars.bsky.social digital event on Romantic drama and contemporary performance that I organised with Chris Bundock, featuring amazing speakers doing very cool work with 18th C and Romantic theatre! Sign up: www.bars.ac.uk/blog/?p=6461
Join K-SAA Vice President Omar F. Miranda tomorrow for Romantic Drama, Contemporary Performance, a roundtable exploring the vibrant theatrical life of Romantic-era drama and its continuing impact on contemporary performance.

Joanna Baillie supported working-class poets & female writers. She inspired Byron & was considered by Harriet Martineau “second only to Shakespeare”. In 2018, her 256th birthday was marked by a Google doodle
