Monday 6th February
Sebastian Carter will speak on Singing school and studying monuments: the afterlife of the Rampant Lions Press.
W. B. Yeats wrote in Sailing to Byzantium that for the soul in old age, ‘Nor is there singing school, but studying /Monuments of its own magnificence’.
Sebastian Carter, after the closure of the Rampant Lions Press workshop at the end of 2008, is trying to prove Yeats wrong by combining the two, compiling a descriptive catalogue of the Press’s books, totaling 321, and (the singing school part) producing a new book without letterpress – or, indeed, many words. In his illustrated talk he will describe both activities.
