italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear colleagues, Please find below the programme for ‘Mourning in Italian Poetry from the Medieval to the Modern’, a one-day conference taking place at Christ Church in Oxford on Saturday 4th March 2017. The conference is generously sponsored by Christ Church, St John’s College, the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages (Oxford), the Society for Italian Studies, and in association with Oxford Medieval Studies, sponsored by the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH). Should you wish to attend the conference, please register by 15th February by following this link: http://www.oxforduniversitystores.co.uk/product-catalogue/modern-languages/modern-languages/mourning-in-italian-poetry-from-the-medieval-to-the-modern In order to preserve the intimate roundtable format of the day, there are not many places available. Please therefore sign up as soon as you are able in order to avoid disappointment. You are all, however, warmly invited to the concluding poetry reading by Antonella Anedda with Jamie McKendrick, which will take place in the Upper Library, Christ Church, 5-6 pm, followed by a drinks reception in the Blue Boar Exhibition Space (6-7 pm). There is no need to register and no charge for this part of the day. Attendance fee is £10.00 in order to cover catering costs. The day will end with a dinner at Chiang Mai and all participants are very welcome to join (at their own cost — £30 per person for a two course menu plus one drink).
