The Turf Tavern
is a popular but well-hidden historic pub in central Oxford. Local legend also has it that former U.S. president Bill Clinton, while attending Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, infamously did not inhale during an evening of carousing at the pub. Additional celebrities and public figures who have dined or drunk at the tavern include Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Blair, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher.[4] It also served as a hangout for the cast and crew of the Harry Potter movies while the nearby colleges were used as locations throughout the filming of the series.

This Dust of Words – Karen Leeder
Karen Leeder, Professor of German, Oxford University, translator of German poetry, giving a talk on the influence of Rilke on contemporary British poetry. (Friday 27th November, 2015)
‘Rilke-in-English’: A Contemporary Picture
In this lecture I ask why the Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke who had little time for Anglo-Saxon culture, should have such a strong presence in English-language poetry. Focussing on recent translations and versions of Rilke, as well as responses to him, I will examine his curious afterlife in English and what it reveals both about his own work and the contemporary poetry scene. Finally I will try to tease out what makes a poet travel beyond their own time and place to become a world author in English.
Karen Leeder, Professor of Modern German Literature, New College, Oxford UniversityKaren Leeder studied German at Oxford and the University of Hamburg. She has published widely on modern German culture, especially of the post-1945 and contemporary periods; her interests range from poetry and the poetic tradition to modernity, GDR literature; contemporary German culture, translation, lateness, women’s writing, angels, spectres, Rilke and Brecht. She has published a number of books on Brecht, including, most recently, Brecht & the GDR (2011), as well as two anthologies of poetry after Brecht, e.g. After Brecht: A Celebration (2006).
She has also published extensively on Rilke, including The Cambridge Companion to Rilke (2010) and Nach Duino: Studien zu Rainer Maria Rilkes späten Gedichten (2010) both edited with Robert Vilain. She has a special interest is contemporary culture and her work includes volumes on modern poetry, ‘Flaschenpost’: German Poetry and the Long Twentieth Century (2007), ‘Schaltstelle’: Neue deutsche Lyrik im Dialog (2007) and [with Michael Eskin and Christopher Young], Durs Grünbein: A Companion (2013), lateness, e.g. Figuring Lateness in Modern German Culture, a special edition of New German Critique (2015) and haunting: two books on spectres will appear this year. She has a long-standing interest in the GDR and its legacy, including Breaking Boundaries: A New Generation of Poets in the GDR (1996), From Stasiland to Ostalgie: The GDR – Twenty Years After (2009) and Rereading East Germany: The Literature and Film of the GDR (2015). With Christopher Young and Michael Eskin she is commissioning editor for the de Gruyter series of Companions to Contemporary German Culture.
She is a prize-winning translator of contemporary literature: including Evelyn Schlag, Raoul Schrott, Ulrike Almut Sandig, Wilhelm Schmid, Michael Krüger. She was awarded the Schlegel-Tieck Prize for Translation (2005) and the Stephen Spender award in 2013 for her translation of Durs Grünbein. Volumes of Volker Braun, Rubble Flora: Selected Poems, translated with David Constantine, and Michael Krüger, Last Day of the Year appeared in 2014. She works regularly with emerging translators and schools on the translation of poetry.

Michael Atiyah - Mathematicians of the past (87/93)
To listen to more of Michael Atiyah’s stories, go to the playlist:
British mathematician Michael Atiyah (1929-2019) studied in Cambridge where he became a Fellow of Trinity College and later held professorships at Princeton and Oxford. He is best known for his work on the K-theory and the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem. [Listener: Nigel Hitchin; date recorded: 1997]
TRANSCRIPT: But I think this idea of, you know, what a great mathematician of the past would... would make of what we currently do, is a very good kind of a intellectual exercise to conduct oneself. You know, there's this vast amount of mathematics we do and you want to say, ‘Well, what... what is the real value?’ And it's hard within the system to... to assess the importance of various things; their relative magnitudes and scale, and... and so historical perspective is a... is a good measure. And if you take a great man from the past and bring… imagine him being brought forward, you can imagine that it would only take him a short while to master any technical details of… you know, which were related to something significant. And so you feel that with a short crash course you ought to be able to explain the really important things to the great man of the past. And that would… and then if you look and see what it is you've got to do, and work out how much you've got to do and... and you strip it away... strip it all away, what would be left? Sometimes you might find there wasn't very much there, you know. If it's all kind of self-contained and there's nothing connecting with a strand of mathematics that goes back into the past, which... which you could bring forward, then you begin to wonder, ‘Well, is it really of value?’ So I think it's a... it’s a good exercise, it's quite amusing to do, and so I've played with that idea quite often in the past. I think I... I like it.
[NH] Who are your heroes of the past?
Well, of course, it depends on how far back you go. I mean, having come to Trinity College and being in the Royal Society, I have to say Isaac Newton, you know, and bow down and all that sort of thing. And you know, when I came here I read a lot about Newton, I thought I had to. And then he... he, from being a kind of just a abstract figure, he became somebody more real to me and he's, just in mathematical terms, or mathematical and physical terms, an enormous figure. Much bigger I think than any... any other single person, be it Einstein or anybody else.
But coming down to, sort of, more recent times, Hermann Weyl was the person I most clearly identified with in mathematical terms. I mean, almost everything I ever did, you know, was... was… you could trace back to things that Hermann Weyl did, I mean very closely related the things… he would be interested in most of them. He did... he did other things that I didn't get into. He was… he covered a very wide range of things from theoretical physics and mathematical logic, number theory and certain group theory, and... and I've sort of moved in many of those, similar things. And a kind of rather a direct, sort of, follow on to many of his ideas of work, so I... I felt his spirit, you know, behind me all the time practically. And I got to a new area, I'd flick through, and gosh, Hermann Weyl's name would appear as somebody who contributed a key idea. So he I think is certainly one of my heroes.
I never… I didn't actually… I met… saw him once. He talked to the International Congress in Amsterdam in 1954 where he gave out the Fields Medals to Serre and Kodaira, and I was a, sort of graduate… second year graduate student attending my first international conference; I... I saw the great man but he died the following year. When I went… he was in Zurich but he had been in Princeton, and so I never actually got to... to meet him, but I knew a lot of people who had met him, Bott and people who that... that worked with him. He was an interesting man. He was... he was apparently nicknamed by the friends who knew him, he was called Heiliger Hermann, sort of, Holy Hermann; he was, because he was a little bit pompous and sort of self-important, but I think it was a kind of friendly nickname that they gave him. So he was certainly… and of course, well Gauss was a, I suppose, an enormous figure too. But he was more of a number theorist in many ways, and the centre of gravity of interest were a bit different; although he did so many other things, and he's a bit further away. It's hard to… I find it hard to… also as person I think Gauss was a bit hard and harsh. His treatment of Lobachevsky and people like that was a bit ruthless, so I didn't warm to him as a person. I think Newton also was a bit tough. But Hermann Weyl I think was a... was a more rounded man, he also had very broad cultural interests and I think would have been a very nice man to know.

Michael Atiyah - Topology and K-theory (34/93)
To listen to more of Michael Atiyah’s stories, go to the playlist:
British mathematician Michael Atiyah (1929-2019) studied in Cambridge where he became a Fellow of Trinity College and later held professorships at Princeton and Oxford. He is best known for his work on the K-theory and the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem. [Listener: Nigel Hitchin; date recorded: 1997]
TRANSCRIPT:[NH] Working on the basics of what came to be topological K-theory, how did this arise?
Well that really arose, I think primarily it came from my attendance at the meetings in Bonn, the annual meetings, because the way their meetings were organised were very, very good. There were no fixed programme. Hirzebruch would just invite the people he liked, or the people he knew in the areas that he was interested in, mainly young active people. And he was very successful at doing this organisation, so lots turned up, became a very popular event and every year, more or less, you would discuss whatever was the most interesting topics going around. And more or less by general agreement you would have lots of talks on this or that, and so by attending these I was exposed to constantly, you know, changing developments and new things came along, I would get interested in them.
And so, in those early years in Bonn when I went, I suppose the late ‘50s, I was hearing of all these developments. On the one hand there was the topologists were doing Morse theory, there was Smale's work and others, classification of manifolds, Milnor's work on different aspects of topology. I mean, there was topology. I learnt a lot of topology… it was all around, topology was going through a big period. I had some topology originally, I learnt more topology in Princeton. I learnt more topology in Bonn. I didn't regard myself as a topologist but I picked it up, it was all around. And there were a lot of things happening. And Milnor was a regular attender also at Princeton. Then there were all the manifold classification, differential geometry, and all the theorems that Hirzebruch himself had proved about… which emerged from algebraic geometry, but, the theorems that various combinations of characteristic classes were integral. Which was a kind of very striking, formal consequence of the algebraic geometry, but applied through Thom's cobordism theory and others into differential manifolds. So I think it was Hirzebruch himself who really shifted the applications of these ideas involving topology in characteristic classes from the algebraic geometry side into the differential manifold side.
And so for many years that was a main theme in Princeton, I would say, so inevitably I got drawn into that and realised that manifolds and characteristic classes and topology were things you should know about and be interested in, and when the opportunity came if something happened I, sort of, got involved. And so my work in… early work in K-theory started off that way because there were these, all these ideas of characteristic numbers and divisibility theorems, my friends the algebraic topologists were all playing around with trying to prove results. Ioan James at Oxford told me about some problems that he had, and Grothendieck was giving all his lectures on his generalised Riemann-Roch theorem, and at some stage I put some of these things together and discovered that you could get some nice results by interplaying one against the other. And then the Bott periodicity theory hit the headlines about the same time, so around about a period of a year or two there was a whole range of new contributions from different people.
By just being around in the right place at the right time, and talking to and being interested in, you were inevitably sucked along certain directions. I didn't actually make any conscious move to say I was going to move from algebraic geometry into topology; it is just the subject naturally had evolved and the centre of activity was mixing these things up. And so before I knew where I was, I was having to think of myself more as a topologist. So when I started doing K-theory, I suddenly became, you know, a kind of topologist for a while. Topology is a branch of K-theory and K-theory is a branch of topology and I had to learn some more topology and K-theory became a tool for topologists to use. And so I… Henry Whitehead was at Oxford, he invited me over to give talks and was clearly impressed with what I was doing, and so for a while I sort of drifted very close to being a topologist; not really a bona fide card-carrying topologist, but sort of, you know, pseudo.

The Royal College of Physicians Archives Accessible with Wiley Digital Archives
The Royal College of Physicians archives open with the platform Wiley digital Archives where you’ll be able to find unique rare primary source document.
I'm Katie Birkwood, I’m the rare books librarian at the Royal College of Physicians, London. Today we are digitizing one of the treasures of the RCP’s library. It's a book printed by William Caxton called the Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye and it was printed in or around the year 1473. This book is really important in the history of printing and the history of the English language because it's the first book ever printed in the English language. It was made in Bruges, or maybe in Ghent in the low countries, by Caxton and it was his own translation of the text. And, like I say, it was the first time that English had been used in a printed book.
The book is the story of the Trojan Wars, so it's the account of the fall of the city of Troy, with all of the mythological history behind that. So, it's an ancient Greek myth, an ancient Greek history, but it was very popular as a literary text at the time. And Caxton made a translation from French, from a man called Raoul La Fevre, into English so it could be enjoyed by a new audience. It might be a surprise that the RCP, a medical institution, has a literary book in its collections, and indeed, that a book of literature would be such a treasure to us. It ended up here because our library collections were all gifts and donations from various Fellows and members of the college over the 500 years of our history. Although the book is over 500 years old, it's still in remarkably good condition. Sadly, we have lost two of the pages right from the start of it, but considering what a long life it's had, that’s pretty good! There are quite a few marks and scribbles that have been left in it over the ages and today I would say you must not write in your library books, but for us, these are really useful because they tell us about who owned the book in the past.
As one of the treasures of the library, we have to be really careful with the book—it’s old and old paper and old bindings can be very fragile, so we keep it under close security and in temperature and humidity-controlled conditions to make sure we can preserve it for future generations.
- My name is Catt Thompson-Baum and I am an accredited conservation manager. I work for Wiley as the conservation consultant and as project manager. The main conservation challenges for large digitization projects are really just the volume of material. So, going through each page of each item and checking the condition to make sure they’re in good enough condition to scan, and then doing any repairs necessary. With something like a rare book, like the Caxton, it's really just again taking it page by page and making sure that it's going to stand up to the extra handling that scanning involves.
- My name's Neil Bowker and I'm the Director at Microform Imaging LTD. The scanner we use is a Metis Gamma and it's utilizing a Canon 5DS Camera. Back at Microform we use many different types of machines to digitize different books. But for this particular machine, what we like about it is it's portable, so we can pretty much take it anywhere. It takes a beautiful image, and the software that comes with it means that we can pretty much work with the book on the go. And by the time we’ve finished, the quality of the image and what the customer wants is pretty much done, on site. This machine will do around about 1,000 shots an hour, depending on the material you are working with. With the book we are working with today, it's not so much how quickly, it's about taking care with the book and making sure that the shots are done without damaging the volume.
- There's a misconception that old paper might be in worse condition, and actually in many ways that's usually not the case because paper, at this stage of history, was made from pure cotton rags. And so, is incredibly good quality, the paper of the Caxton, is actually quite a thick, heavyweight paper and has stood up really well to the test of time. You find that once paper gets into mechanical manufacturing and they start using cheaper materials with more degradable products in it. In the sort of mid-nineteenth century, that's when paper starts to be in much worse condition, but early paper like this is beautiful. The “great, white glove debate,” which is always asked in these cases. The reason we don’t wear gloves when handling paper products is because actually, it reduces the sensitivity of your fingers. And you can, in fact, when trying to turn pages, do much more damage to the paper. So we wash our hands beforehand make sure they’re very clean, to avoid depositing residue from our hands, as much as possible, on the paper. But gloves are definitely important for photographic items, and some other heritage items like metals, but it's not necessary for paper...
