Soundings from Essex 2
Monday Aug 3rd 7pm ZOOM EVENT
2. Elizabeth Tollet:
Stratford’s Scientific Poet
Isaac Newton praised her achievements, yet the poetry of multi-talented Elizabeth Tollet (1694 – 1754) expresses her resentment at being unjustly excluded from the male world of science. Join us for this celebration of an Essex woman whose life, steeped in sciences and arts, reflects our own Minerva Scientifica project. There will be mesmerising music from Imogen Holst, MATHS, artful animation from Jack Cornell and creative conversation led by Dr Patricia Fara.
