OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Dr Will Bowers (Queen Mary University of London) will explore the significance of Vesuvius, and volcanoes more generally, to the literature and culture of the Romantic Period (1770–1830). The lecture will discuss artists such as J. W. M. Turner and Joseph Wright of Derby, and writers such as William Cowper and the Shelleys, along with some reflections on the significance of volcanoes to the political tumult of this revolutionary age.
Free coffee, tea, and cakes will be available.
