English Faculty/OWC Shakespeare Webinar: The Tempest In this free webinar, Professor Emma Smith will be discussing the new edition of The Tempest from Oxford World's Classics.

Our #Shakespeare webinar series continues on 7 April at 6pm. Prof Emma Smith @oldfortunatus.bsky.social will be joined by Dr Lauren Working @laurenworking.bsky.social to discuss the new Oxford World's Classics edition of The #Tempest.

All welcome! Register via Eventbrite:

The vehemently republican MS was held close by the family and not published till 1806. Julius Hutchinson issued special large-paper copies and boosted subscriptions; it became a best-seller.

Julius Hutchinson did cut many passages he thought readers would dislike and only in 1973 did James Sutherland issue an edition from the original MS. N. H. Keeble followed with a modernized edition. The new edition will for the first time include in full an earlier version written during the war.

Early Modern British and Irish History Seminar, 5.15 pm, Graham Storey Room at Trinity Hall:
Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille (University of Rouen Normandy) - Memoir-writing, historiography and the English Revolution: the case of Sir Thomas Fairfax's Short Memorials

[Suspension du PEB]
En raison d'une baisse de plus de 40% de son budget 2025, la BIS est contrainte de réduire ses activités et services, notamment le service du Prêt entre bibliothèques, suspendu pour une durée indéterminée à partir du lundi 17 février.
Les demandes déjà en cours seront traitées.

These are the editions of Lucretius, by Denys Lambin and Daniel Pareus, which Lucy Hutchinson would have consulted 'in a roome where my children practizd the severall quallities they were taught, with their Tutors, & I numbred the sillables of my translation by the threds of the canvas I wrought in'

Introducing Lucy Hutchinson’s writings in a few posts. In the 1650s, translation of Lucretius, De rerum natura, a bold atheist epic. How did a Puritan engage with materialist vision of history? Texts available in Oxford Works vol. 1, with Latin text and full commentary; text only ed. Hugh de Quehen.

Lucy Hutchinson is now on Bluesky!

Le livre devrait être publié en anglais / espagnol, en 2025, chez Brill (Leiden/Boston), dans la collection Heterodoxia Ibérica dirigée par Jorge Ledo, sous le titre Preface to the conversion of Moors or The Moorish Catechism attributed to Juan de Almarza, s.j. (1619-1669).

Congratulations Sarah!
