Frank Kermode was the great humanist critic of his generation. The LRB and the Department of English at UCL have together instituted an annual event to commemorate Kermode’s distinguished life and highly influential work. This year’s inaugural discussion, in which Jacqueline Rose and Michael Wood among others will participate, and which will be chaired by John Mullan, will range freely and informally across his contributions to criticism in numerous fields, from apocalyptic theory to contemporary fiction.
