———————————————————————————————————————————————

The Lincoln Leads Seminar Series 2020 takes place on Thursday evenings during Hilary term at Lincoln College, Oxford. Each panel features an Alumnus/na, a Fellow, and a Student of the College, who will respond to a topical question linked to their research or professional experience. Following a wine reception at 5pm, each seminar will start at 5.45pm, culminating in a lively Q&A session. We have a fantastic group of panellists scheduled for the series, who aim to invite non-specialist audiences into their spheres of expertise. We therefore hope that you are eager to join them in conversation, and learn more about the exciting and diverse research connected to Lincoln.

Please see below for further details of our speakers:

Eirian Yem is a DPhil candidate in English Literature. Her research interests include the Victorian novel, the history of reading, quotation and paratext. Her thesis “Epigraphic Form: from Ann Radcliffe to George Eliot” charts the evolution of the chapter epigraph, and the ways in which both the epigraph and its intended function have evolved over time. Eirian completed her Masters at the University of Oxford and, prior to this, her Bachelors degree at New York University, where she was awarded the Bouton Memorial Award for Research in English and American Literature. Her forthcoming article in 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century is titled ‘An Inordinate Number of Words: Epigraphs in Daniel Deronda’.
