Joanna Baillie was a Scottish poet and playwright whose dramatic works in particular were celebrated by contemporaries such as Sir Walter Scott and Lord Byron. She lived in Scotland and England, including some time in Colchester, before she died at Hampstead in 1851.
Building on a rehearsed reading of The Tryal in autumn 2024 and subsequent panel at the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies conference in January of 2025, members of the Joanna Baillie Working Group will meet again (virtually) in the summer of 2025.
Discussion will focus on further possible collaborations, including but not limited to:
