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.
An Oxford Bibliographical Society lecture.
Thomas Tyrwhitt (1730-1786) was educated at Eton and The Queen’s College, Oxford. He was a Fellow of Merton from 1755 to 1762. He held several subsequent posts in London, notably curator of the British Museum (appointed in 1784). He was a philologist and scholar of ancient and English literature. His edition of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales (1775) brought rigorous scholarly editing to this major text. On his death Tyrwhitt left a collection of some 900 rare books to the British Museum.
