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
Before his untimely death at the age of 34, Gavin Bone produced a headstrong, modernist corpus of Old English translations while studying and teaching at Oxford which has been little studied. This talk will centre on Bone’s illustrations and reception of Beowulf as published posthumously in his 1945 translation.
The Merton MCR’s colloquia series provides a taste of the diverse range of research being conducted by graduate community. This informal talk is tailored for a non-specialist audience, but all are welcome.
The talk will take place in the Merton College MCR and the Porter’s will be able to direct you from the Lodge on Merton Street.
