SUMMARY:English Visiting Speaker Seminar: Dr Eleanor Parker, Brasenose College Oxford
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday, 25 March 2026 (Lady Day), 4.15pm,  Lawson Seminar Room, Kennedy Hall, School of English, The Scores, St Andrews,   'The Anglo-Saxon Calendar: Old English Poetry Reading and Conversation', with Dr Eleanor Parker (Brasenose College Oxford), author of Winters in the World    The Anglo-Saxon liturgical and seasonal calendar will be at the centre of this event, via a conversation between Dr Eleanor Parker, author of Winters in the World (2022) and Dr Christine Rauer, editor of the Old English Martyrology (2013). Presenters and audience volunteers will also read out aloud the tenth-century Old English Menologium (231 lines).
