# Harvard Mahindra Humanities Center Seminar on Cartography: Professor Jeffrey N. Peters (University of Kentucky), "Clouds, Place, and Poetic Style in Early Modern France" #### calendar\_today Date and Time **September 21, 2020** 03:00PM - 04:30PM EDT #### pin\_drop Location **Online, Registration see Event Details** Clouds have been closely associated with poetry and the poetic since antiquity. For early modern natural philosophers, clouds exemplified the uncertain, the conjectural, the merely probable, even, indeed, the poetic. This paper will suggest that a concept of poetic origination developed in early modern France that derived its principles in part from the “situating incorporeality” of clouds.
