TorontoC18Group

Active on the UofT campus for almost 50 years, the Toronto Eighteenth-Century Group (TECG) promotes interdisciplinary knowledge of long eighteenth-century literature and culture by inviting visiting scholars, local faculty, and graduate students to present their research in a collegial environment. Membership is open to faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars from across the GTA. Visitors are always welcome.
We hope you will join us!
