On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
(This is a joint event with the Modern History Seminar)
It is not easy to categorise Charlotte Yonge’s significance. Known mainly for her best-selling novel, The Heir of Redclyffe (1853), and as a peripheral member of the Oxford Movement, there is a tendency by mainstream literary and historical scholars to overlook the variety of her achievements. Least studied has been her commitment to the expansion of parochial education both locally and nationally, taking forward the battle to defend the voluntary schools of the Church of England after the 1870 Education Act.
