 Style \n‘The lapidary style’ suggests a manner of writing which runs clo
 se to working a material – carving lettering into rock\, cutting a gem i
 nto fine facets. Poised between the properties of the stone and of the j
 ewel\, this term echoes the tensions of the poem itself. This talk will 
 range over the curious nature of ‘style’\, the virtues of concision and 
 incisiveness\, the ‘materiality’ of language\, and epigraphy in a digita
 l age. The ‘lapidary’ shows us the profound implication of a ‘style’ wit
 h semantic meaning. \nMore: http://events.manchester.ac.uk/event/event:d
