The second speaker was Joanne Shattock, Emertius Professor of Victorian Literature at the University of Leicester. Her talk concerned Margaret Oliphant and John Blackwood.
The first speaker was Jane Robinson, Senior Associate of Somerville College, Oxford. Her talk was based on her latest book 'Trailblazer' a biography of Barbara Bodichon.
