Annual Remembrance Lecture

This year the talk is entitled “Let’s kill the memory of this place’”: Scottish Poetry of the First World War, and will be given by David Goldie, President of the Association for Scottish Literature.

This lecture continues the annual series of Remembrance lectures at Edinburgh Napier University, marking the historical significance of Craiglockhart as a War Hospital during the First World War, famously the meeting place of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.  We also remember our late colleague Catherine Walker, who was for many years curator of the War Poets Collection.  Funding comes from the Centre for Arts, Media and Culture and the Centre for Military Research, Education & Public Engagement, and by private donation.

The event is held in the Rivers Suite at Edinburgh Napier University’s Craiglockhart Campus (Google map | travel info).  There will be a wine reception from 5.30pm; the lecture will start around 6pm.  The event will also be streamed via Teams.
