About this talk
Come along to hear about a new edition of On Liberty, meet its editors, and explore Stolen! Theft in the Archive. Talk: Harriet Taylor Mill and On Liberty (5.30pm to 7pm) Join the editors of a groundbreaking new edition of John Stuart Mill's On Liberty to hear about the scholarship behind the first edition of the work to publish Harriet Taylor Mill as a co-author. For generations, On Liberty has been associated primarily with John Stuart Mill. This new edition re-examines the evidence for Harriet Taylor Mill's contribution to the work and brings her role as a co-author to the forefront. The editors will discuss the research and editorial decisions behind the new edition, and what recognising Taylor Mill's contribution changes about how we understand one of the most influential works in the history of liberal political thought. Exhibition launch reception: Stolen! Theft in the Archive (6.30pm to 8pm) Following the talk, join us for the launch reception for Stolen! Theft in the Archive, an exhibition featuring items from the archives of Harriet Taylor Mill. The exhibition brings together an international team of curators to explore theft in its many forms: wealth taken by others, ideas obscured by the published record, and robbed legacies. It examines how theft shapes what we remember and what we forget. Co-hosted by LSE Library and the Department of Philosophy, Logic, & Scientific Method
