Spending the years 1742-44 in North America, Kimber drew on his travels from New York to south to Florida in his writing, including a series of Itinerant Observations in America in The London Magazine, of which he later became editor.Kimber's travels inspired him to write about his encounters with colonists, indigenous people and nature.Kathryn Gray, from the School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Plymouth, has research specialisms in early American literary studies, and the literatures of colonial New England especially.Her work responds to questions of literary form, transatlantic print culture, and the politics of the cultural change and transformation in the colonial and indigenous landscapes of North America. More recently, she has developed research and teaching interests in early American environmental literatures and natural history. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/plymouth/literary-performances/100001769391590879 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fliterary-performances-tickets-1769391590879 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Plymouth - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Plymouth Athenaeum - **lat**: 50.36896600000001 - **long**: -4.145823999999948 - **full address**: Plymouth Athenaeum, Derrys Cross, Plymouth, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: The Plymouth Athenaeum (https://allevents.in/org/the-plymouth-athenaeum/22883035) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/bcc2579a15f4cd5583e9e7f3c7ddfdd9177753ea3b68802d746bacb434fd3c51-rimg-w1200-h675-dc1b0514-gmir.jpg?v=1761326001 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/fedf666438d7298a2cd9e88fb3754f5fa8f930ff134388dfa05325cc66af792a-rimg-w400-h400-dcbfa592-gmir.jpg?v=1761326000 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 27 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Plymouth Athenaeum, Derrys Cross, Plymouth, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** The Plymouth Athenaeum - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Literary Performances ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Literary Performances", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/bcc2579a15f4cd5583e9e7f3c7ddfdd9177753ea3b68802d746bacb434fd3c51-rimg-w1200-h675-dc1b0514-gmir.jpg?v=1761326001", "startDate": "2025-11-27", "endDate": "2025-11-27", "url": "https://allevents.in/plymouth/literary-performances/100001769391590879", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Plymouth Athenaeum", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Derrys Cross", "postalCode": "PL1 2SW", "addressLocality": "Plymouth", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "50.36896600000001", "longitude": "-4.145823999999948" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Prof Kathryn Gray discusses Edward Kimber, the novel and natural knowledge in the 18th century", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-27", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/plymouth/literary-performances/100001769391590879" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/plymouth/literary-performances/100001769391590879", "price": 0, "name": "Entry Registration" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "The Plymouth Athenaeum", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/the-plymouth-athenaeum/22883035", "description": "The Plymouth Athenaeum, located in Plymouth, England, is a charitable society dedicated to the promotion of learning in the fields of science, technology, literature and art.The Athenaeum building, located at Derry's Cross in Plymouth City Centre, includes a 340-seat auditorium, lecture room, lounge, meeting rooms and a local interest library.Founded on 17 October 1812 as the Plymouth Institute, it was soon renamed the Plymouth Institution. The first meetings took place in Catherine Street and later Frankfort Street Art Gallery.Architect and founding member of the Institution John Foulston (1772 – 30 December 1841), who had won a competition to design the Royal Hotel and Theatre group of buildings, designed the building that would become the permanent home of the organisation. The foundation stone of 'The Athenaeum', which had a Greek Doric-style facade, was laid on 1 May 1818.The Devon and Cornwall Natural History Society, formed in 1838, amalgamated with the Plymouth Institution in 1851. The Mechanics' Institute in Princes Street closed in 1899 and a merger with the Plymouth Institution took place.Foulston's original 'Athenaeum' was destroyed during the Blitz in 1941, resulting in the loss of the Insititution's library, art and museum collections.The Institution was renamed The Plymouth Athenaeum when it moved into its present building on 1 June 1961, which is located on almost the exact location of its pre-Blitz home." } ] } ] ```
