SUMMARY:Double bill: talk by Lynn Robson and Janet Dickinson
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Oxford Preservation Trust\n2pm: The authenticity of grief: attitudes towards life and death in Shakespearian England – Lynn Robinson and Janet Dickinson\nAn experience which connects human stories across time. Experiences of grief and loss are recorded in only the starkest, most simple terms in the historic archives which survive. Maggie O’Farrell’s recent novel, Hamnet, and the film adaptation directed by Chloe Zhao, enter this emotional space, and fill it with a wrenching portrayal of grief and its impact on a family. Today’s conversation, between a literary scholar and a historian, will discuss the ways in which this fictional representation retells the story of the loss of William Shakespeare’s only son, and how reinvention and imagination can enhance our understanding of how historical people lived, felt, and remembered those closest to them.\n4pm: Secrets of Shipwrecks Janet Dickinson\nStories of lost ships and their cargoes hold an enduring curiosity, thinking about what was lost and what might even be recovered. Oxygen deprived environments can mean that some items are preserved to a remarkable degree and advances in maritime archaeology have resulted in some spectacular recoveries as well as hope of further discoveries. This talk will focus on a series of historic shipwrecks dating from antiquity to the eighteenth century and what they reveal of the worlds from which they disappeared.\nDr Janet Dickinson is Departmental Lecturer (History) at Oxford University’s department for Lifelong Learning and Lecturer at New York University in London. Her research focuses on the Tudors and court history and occasionally on shipwrecks and drowned books. Janet is a convenor of the Tudor & Stuart Seminar at the Institute of Historical Research and a committee member of the Society for Court Studies.\nDr Lynn Robson is Fellow Emerita in English Literature at Regent’s Park College, and an Honorary Academic Associate of Oxford Lifelong Learning. Her interests are in the representation of prisons and penitence in early modern prose murder pamphlets, early modern women writers, and Shakespeare. Her current project is on Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall Trilogy.\n
