A special moment and throwback to my MSt presenting @engfac @UniofOxford on Wilde, ‘moral pestilence’ and epidemic influenza in the 1890s (at Wilde’s university) as part of @MEDEP_CHANSE @EUCHANSE for @BAVS_UK @BAVS_PGs #BAVS2025

On Thursday at the @BAVS_UK conference I’ll be on the Wilde panel discussing ‘moral pestilence’, miasma, contagion, the 1890s influenza epidemic, and immorality as an ‘Aesthetic condition’ for Wilde, Thomas Mann, and Arthur Symons! Part of the @MEDEP_CHANSE @EUCHANSE project 🦠📖
