He discussed the so-called \u2018familiar\u2019 essay from the early 19th century which embodies a harmonization of two supposedly conflicting concepts, Romanticism and consumerism.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on examples from Lamb, Hazlitt and De Quincey, he explained that this innovative act of mediation revolves around a \u2018gastronomy\u2019 motif which ironically involves, in various ways, the anointed \u2018high priest\u2019 of Romantic transcendence, William Wordsworth. The Colloquium was well attended by faculty, students and staff from the various colleges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Simon Hull, Assistant Professor of English Literature in the College of Science &amp;
