The Power of the Word Conferences

From the beginning, both theoretical discussion and analysis of specific authors and texts have been a regular feature at the Power of the Word bi-annual meetings. The choice of Gdańsk (Poland) and Rome (Italy) as venues for the third and fourth conferences further confirmed the thoroughly international character of the Project. Newly drawn in scholars and students from Europe, North America and elsewhere, who had not participated in earlier conferences, now form an integral part of the Project's network and many returned for the most recent conference instalment in Oxford. Today we look ahead to our sixth conference scheduled to take place in Summer 2020 in Dublin.
