THE LONDON LIBRARY ANNUAL LECTURE
Launched with a series of seven lectures to commemorate the Library’s 150th anniversary in 1991, the London Library Annual Lecture is now a firm and favourite fixture in London’s literary calendar. Delivered each summer by one of the Library’s distinguished members, the lectures cover a subject range as wide and as stimulating as the Library’s extensive and eclectic collections.
The Library’s 2009 annual lecture was held at the Royal Geographical Society on Wednesday, 10 June 2009, with historian Jenny Uglow speaking on 'The Restoration Decade: Triumph or disaster'?
For members who were unable to attend this year, or who would like to revisit Jenny’s wonderful lecture, an edited transcript will appear in the Autumn edition of the London Library Magazine, to be published in September.
