In the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio\, and inspired by the surprising history of the company’s own copy\, he set out to see how many of these important volumes he could find. Sir Gregory’s book\, Walking Shadow: Love\, Loss and Shakespeare (Bloomsbury)\, relives the months leading up to Sher’s death\, told via the two men’s raw and loving diaries\, and maps Doran’s quest to track down more than 200 First Folios worldwide – over 90 percent of all the surviving copies. The book is a poignant and panoramic story of love\, loss and the ways in which Shakespeare can become a source of healing. \nSir Gregory Doran has been described as “one of the great Shakespearians of his generation” (The Sunday Times). \nGreg’s book My Shakespeare: A Director’s Journey Through the First Folio was published in 2024 and his latest book Walking Shadow is published by Bloomsbury this April. \nDr Chris Laoutaris is a Shakespeare scholar\, biographer and Associate Professor at The Shakespeare Institute (University of Birmingham). \nHe is the author of Shakespeare’s Book: The Intertwined Lives Behind the First Folio (William Collins) which tells the story of the creation of the 1623 First Folio\, and which made several book of the year lists\, including BBC History Magazine\, BBC Radio 4 Front Row and Australian Book Review\, and was a Financial Times Best Summer Book. \nThere will be an exhibition of Shakespeare-related documents from the Stationers’ archives. \nTickets:\n£35 In-person (lecture\, wine\, soft drinks & sandwiches) \nDrinks reception in the Court Room before going into the Hall.

As a student WW1 placed Norah into pathology laboratories in Manchester\, and after qualification she followed her family to London and the greater availability of posts for women. Norah worked around South East England and published papers on general pathology and historical matters. She was a founder member of the Royal College of Pathologists in 1963 making a generous donation to start a library and later many significant books. She died in 1991 aged 99 years. \nLecture title: Oliver Sacks and the Hidden History of Neurodivergent Reading (MacDonald Lecture)\nLecture speaker: Prof Matthew Rubery \nOliver Sacks’s bestselling books played a pivotal role in raising public awareness of neurodiversity\, especially around unconventional or stigmatized forms of reading. Building on the concept of metagnosis\, or the belated recognition of a neurological condition\, this lecture proposes that Sacks’s humane and compassionate case studies helped many individuals become aware of their own cognitive differences for the first time. Rather than pathologizing atypical cognition\, Sacks’s narratives enabled readers to identify with neurodivergent experiences\, reframing so-called ‘bad’ or ‘impaired’ reading as simply different. This talk ultimately endorses Sacks’s idea of ‘reading pluralism\,’ advocating for a more inclusive understanding of reading that embraces the diverse ways in which people do it.
