The Immortal Dinner: A Famous Evening of Genius and Laughter in Literary London, 1817

On December 28, 1817, the eccentric painter B.R. Haydon gave a famous dinner party in his painting room in London. He invited, among others, three of the greatest literary lights of the age: John Keats, William Wordsworth, and Charles Lamb. The Immortal Dinner offers a glimpse into the lives and thoughts of this literary elite at a turning point in English society. "Fascinating...Hughes-Hallet discourses on the characters and histories not only of the guests themselves but of numerous of their contemporaries not present that evening."-Evelyn Toynton, New York Times Book Review.
