OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Older Scots Reading Group: Gavin Douglas, Eneados Prologue VIII
The Older Scots Reading Group is for people interested in literature produced in Scotland between 1375-1550. This is an incredibly rich period, featuring authors experimenting with form and language. The texts themselves are written in Older Scots – a language closely related to Middle English, but with some unique attributes. This reading group will provide a relaxed introduction to this period and language. This term we will focus on reading and comprehension. We will read one fairly short poem (300 lines max) per week by some of the most prominent Scottish Makars – Robert Henryson, William Dunbar, and Gavin Douglas. No intensive preparation required. Both undergraduates and postgraduates are welcome. There may be snacks! If you have any questions, contact megan.bushnell@ling-phil.ox.ac.uk
