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
(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.
