Description
A public lecture and a public exhibition were organised on the occasion of the donation of the internationally-known Flintshire Harries Arthurian Collection to Bangor University Library, facilitated by myself (was contacted directly by Simon Gotts, at the time responsible for the collection).Summary: Through the public lecture and exhibition, which was accompanied by guided tours for a few months, as well as high visibility in the national press (article in the Conversation, Times Higher, as well as locally in the Bangor press and Golwg), Bangor's excellence in research in Arthurian studies was disseminated.
Underpinning research: Bangor's international research and teaching reputation in Arthurian studies, in particular in the areas of English, comparative literature and Welsh studies was the focus of this impact. In particular this impact continues the activities submitted in REF2014, with long-standing international excellence in the editions, monographs and other critical work produced by Prof. P.J.C.Field, and Prof.Raluca Radulescu.
Beneficiaries: students, staff, general public - local and national; some international (via the Conversation article)
