Welcome

The next Professor of Poetry lecture by Alice Oswald will take place on 1 December at 5.30pm. The title of the talk is: Meandering Fortune-graphs – a conversation between the Book of Job and David Jones' In Parenthesis. PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE TO 1 DECEMBER.

Prof Marion Turner is leading a new project which uses AI technology to explore Chaucer. Virtual Chaucer allows you to watch the pilgrims as they gather at the Tabard Inn and then interact with them through AI technology. 

The Ten-Minute Book Club has recently launched its second season and will be releasing a book a week for the next 10 weeks.

We’d like to give a very warm welcome to four new academics joining the English Faculty this term: Professor Pablo Mukherjee, Dr Nicole King, Dr Malachi McIntosh and Dr William Ghosh.

Dr Erica McAlpine has been awarded the 2022 Rose Mary Crawshay Prize for her book The Poet’s Mistake (Princeton University Press, 2020).
