Join this fascinating meeting to study the background to the medical training and influences of poets, John Keats and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. We will be assessing the formative influences this had on each and evaluating the extent to which the arts remain an integral part of exploring medicine and health.
This session will consist of two lectures by two renowned scholars, Professor Nicholas Roe and Professor Neil Vickers. They will be reviewing the lives of Keats and Coleridge to provide a better understanding of the influence of poetry on clinical practice.
