Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
