Mary Beard gives John Donne Lecture 2019
1 May 2019
On Friday 26 April, the Principal and Fellows of Hertford College were delighted to welcome Professor Dame Mary Beard to Oxford for the John Donne lecture 2019.
The lecture titled ‘What is the point of Classics?’ sought to examine and explain (to an audience of over 600) how and why Classics remains relevant in the 21st Century. Images of the day may be found here – we hope to post the transcripts of this and future lectures in due course.
