In this webinar, Professor Marion Turner introduces some of the themes of Chaucer Here and Now, the exhibition currently on view at the Weston Library.

Focusing on manuscripts and printed books from the fifteenth century to the twenty-first, she will discuss some of the ways in which readers of Chaucer have responded to and reimagined Chaucer's works. From medieval scribes to Zadie Smith, via early printers, Victorian children's authors and William Morris, Professor Turner explores the afterlife of one of our greatest poets.

This webinar will be interactive, with plenty of time for Q&A, and will feature some of the Bodleian's treasures shown under the visualiser.
