Rhetoric - Belinda Jack on the Mysteries of Reading and Writing Play
Belinda Jack is Fellow and Tutor in French at Christ Church, University of Oxford. She features regularly in the press and media thanks to the popularity and insight of her published works, including books such as The Woman Reader, George Sand: A Woman's Life Writ Large and Negritude and Literary Criticism: The History and Theory of "Negro-African" Literature in French. As of 2013, she is the Gresham Professor of Rhetoric. She writes of her appointment and the series: "Reading is a subject which has long fascinated me, not least because of my role in teaching undergraduate students to read 'difficult' literature with the greatest attention to detail, structure and internal connections. My most recent book, The Woman Reader, is a history of women's reading from ancient times to the present day, and the writing of it deepened my interest in the subject of reading more generally. My Gresham lectures will draw on some of the material on which I based my book, including material that I didn't have space to treat, and on the research I am currently undertaking. My primary aim will be to encourage informed reading of a wide range of material, which will make us reconsider literature, ourselves and the society in which we live."-

Christopher Hogwood - Music in Context Play
Christopher Hogwood CBE is the Gresham Professor of Music, a world-renowned conductor, keyboard player, musicologist, writer, editor and broadcaster. Having been the director of the Academy of Ancient Music for over thirty years, he currently holds positions at the Royal Academy of Music, the University of Cambridge and Cornell University. In this lecture series, Professor Hogwood invites us to consider the context of classical music's composition. Our idea of the artist is shaped by the modern mores, the artist as an independent creative force, their creations timeless and objective. In truth some of the greatest works were written in entirely alien settings, and for a multitude of reasons.. Professor examines a quartet written to sell a harp, as learning exercises for students and even in the horror of a prison camp. Each Lecture includes live performances by musicians from the Royal Academy of Music.-

Shaping Modern Mathematics: The 19th Century Play
The 19th Century saw the development of a mathematics profession with people earning their living from teaching, examining and researching and with the mathematical centre of gravity moving from France to Germany. A lot of the mathematics taught at university today was initiated at that time. Whereas in the 18th Century one would use the term mathematician, by the end of the 19th Century one had specialists in analysis, algebra, geometry, number theory, probability and statistics, and applied mathematics. This series of free public lectures looks at the shaping of each of these mathematical areas and at the people who were involved. All information can be found on the Gresham College website: www.gresham.ac.uk-
