OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Edith Wharton as Playwright, a panel
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.
