OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Romanticism under the Volcano | Public Lecture
This event is part of the 'Vesuvius 22' project. Please visit torch.ox.ac.uk/vesuvius-22 for more information.
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.
