RT @profdanielcook: Coming soon: MARY SHELLEY'S DUNDEE (art by Katy Stone)

[Prof Daniel Cook @profdanielcook]

Meet Mary Ann Baxter, a major philanthropist and co-founder of University College, Dundee, the forerunner of @dundeeuni. The deed of endowment stated that the college should promote "the education of persons of both sexes and the study of Science, Literature and the Fine Arts". Her portrait (pictured) hangs in the university’s Dalhousie Building. I pass it most days - and each time I think of the driving message of that deed. (Oh, and Mary Shelley fans might recognise that Baxter name.)

Legend.

“Awful and stern the rugged entrance low’rs
That leads to Caledonia’s last retreats,
Where oft in days of yore, contending pow’rs
On the dark threshold shone in dreadful feats”
Anne Grant, ‘Sonnet’, in The Highlanders, and Other Poems (1808)

We had a sellout crowd at the @natlibscot this evening for our blether about Frankenstein and Scottish Gothic. The tie-in exhibition, which runs for two more weeks, features Mary Shelley’s letters and much more besides.
