Brilliant day of ‘Marlowe and the Huguenots of Canterbury’ with drama in the chapel, documents, journal special issue launch, walking tour, videos and round tables Rory Loughnane Journal of Marlowe Studies Oxford Marlowe MEMS Christine Sukic

A workshop Canterbury Cathedral on iconoclasm last week, a visit to both #holbeinexhibition and Sam Fogg this week plus Colleen Curran's talk yesterday - MEMS is on a roll, and now this impressive line-up for today's symposium, organised by one of our stars, Rory Loughnane :

Today it was confirmed that Art History will be ‘phased out’ at the University of Kent – along with Anthropology, Journalism, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Music.

What a tremendous loss.

We in MEMS were are delighted to being hosting the irrepressible Colleen Curran providing with exciting new evidence on early Breton palaeography. Plus a suggestion of what we can buy her for a wedding present...

All-day symposium tomorrow:

🌟'Marlowe and the Huguenots of Canterbury'🌟

The early sessions from 9:15-12:30 (2 roundtables and documentaries) are hybrid. Just email for Zoom details.
