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
Playwriting remained a life-long fascination and an influential, though critically long-neglected genre in Wharton’s career. The evidence suggests that at the turn of the century especially Wharton was as much – if not more – interested in seeking success as a playwright than as a novelist. Recently, in 2017, two scholars, Laura Rattray and Mary Chinery discovered a previously unknown, original, full length play by Edith Wharton called The Shadow of a Doubt. They will be joined by DPhil student Daniel Ibrahim Abdalla for a discussion of Wharton’s neglected writing in this genre.
