DESCRIPTION:MacColl Lecture by Dame Margaret Anstee to open co
 nference at Clare College on Remembering JB Trend:
  the quiet internationalist. \n\nThis symposium\, 
 the first event of which is the annual MacColl lec
 ture of the department\, celebrates the life and w
 ork of J B Trend\, the first Professor of Spanish 
 in Cambridge\, and a central figure in the history
  of Hispanism. Trend was an unusual figure: he was
  shy\, but a clear enthusiast\, and memorably gift
 ed in inspiring enthusiasm  in others\; his first 
 degree was in Natural Sciences\; his studies of mo
 dern Spanish culture and intellectual life in the 
 early 1920s are still a fundamental point of refer
 ence\; he moved into musicology in an unofficial m
 anner while still a student\, later becoming a pri
 me figure in Spanish musicology helping to bring i
 t into a wider international arena\;  he was centr
 al to the development of a tradition in British Hi
 spanism that was wide-ranging in its interests\, a
 nd driven by similarly wide-ranging curiosity. The
 re were important consequences of what he did and 
 how he did it. Trend frequented Spain assiduously 
 between his first degree and his appointment to th
 e Chair. His contacts there memorably included the
  Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid\, in some way
 s an institution that could be considered as a ver
 sion of CRASSH\, crossed with a University college
  or hall of residence (Trend referred to it as ‘Ox
 ford and Cambridge in Madrid’). The cultural openn
 ess of the Residencia is mirrored by the cultural 
 openness of Cambridge in these years. Trend’s cont
 acts contributed to a strong tradition of the rece
 ption of contemporary poets in Cambridge (Salinas\
 , Cernuda\, Dámaso Alonso\, Muñoz Rojas among othe
 rs)\, and other prime figures such as Unamuno. The
  coming of the Civil War made Trend quietly signif
 icant in the reception of fleeing intellectuals.  
  The symposium will include papers on the varied a
 ctivities and aspects of Trend\, and two concerts.
