The Impact and Importance of George Steiner’s Real Presences

Real Presences is an extraordinary book by George Steiner, which every thinker should be familiar with. Steiner argues that the waters have been thoroughly muddied in our engagement with art and literature, provides a profound diagnosis of the causes, and proposes a surprising, theological solution. In this event, KLC Research Fellow in Media, Journalism and Communications, Dr Jenny Taylor, leads us through the argument of the book and set the framework for engagement with it.
