“What Light Through Yonder Window Breaks?”: The Window as Protagonist in British Architecture and Visual Culture

This conference explored the multifaceted, multi-purpose nature of the window as protagonist, with an emphasis on its place in British architecture and visual culture, broadly conceived. A range of interdisciplinary papers presented by international scholars provided a platform for dynamic and engaging discourse that brought to the fore the cultural and social significance of the window in its many guises as object, as boundary, as frame and as mediator.
