Editing Contexts is a one-day interdisciplinary conference on historical editions of literary texts, kindly supported by The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH).

We hope to bring together graduate students and early career scholars researching editions in all periods of European literature. The Keynote Speaker is Rhiannon Daniels, Senior Lecturer in Italian at the University of Bristol.


The conference will be held on Friday 22nd June from 9:30 to 15:45. The venue will be the TORCH Seminar Room at Radcliffe Humanities, Woodstock Road, Oxford, OX2 6GG. The full schedule can be found below.
