Sandars Lecture: A Cabinet of English Literary Treasures: Reflections of Fifty Years of Book Collecting
Thu 9 March 2017
McCrum Lecture Theatre
The final in this series of Sandars Lectures will focus primarily on literary forgeries, a topic of long fascination for Professor Toshiyuki. It will introduce some of the greatest forgers of English Literature, illustrated with examples from Professor Toshiyuki's collection. Beginning with Charles Bertram's De Situ Britanniae the lecture will then consider William Henry Ireland's Authentic Account and John Philip Kemble's Fugitive Pieces, before concluding with perhaps the greatest forgery of them all: Constantin Simonides' Illiad scroll, so beloved of Sir Thomas Phillipps.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception at the Parker Library at Corpus Christi College. All are welcome.
