Curious Minds: Gilbert White and Thomas Pennant

This talk builds on an exhibition of the same name held earlier this year by the AHRC funded Curious Travellers Project (curioustravellers.ac.uk/en), of which I am a part, and hosted at the Gilbert White Museum in Hampshire. While the project as a whole considers Thomas Pennants entire body of work, my focus, and that of this talk, centres on the conversations between the two naturalists, Rev. Gilbert White (1720-1793) and Thomas Pennant (FRS 1727-1798), and how that developed their work and legacy.
