Today at 16.00 the Keats-Shelley House will launch its latest publication. 

Titled Keats, Borges and the Nightingale, the book celebrates a manuscript that has just been put on display for the first time in our salone, and which contains a series of fascinating notes made by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges on one of John Keats's most famous poems, 'Ode to a Nightingale'. The book consists of a facsimile of the notes along with essays in both English and Italian, including a major one by Borges scholar Professor Jason Wilson.

Join us and Dr Elisabetta Vaccaro, a scholar in English and Spanish literature, who has specially transcribed the notes and who will talk through the process of unlocking their secrets.  

The museum's standard entrance fee applies and refreshments will be served. 

Advance booking is not required but please call (06 678 42 35) or email ([email protected]) if you wish to reserve a place or find out more information.
