The Romanes Lecture - 2011 - Andrew Motion

The Romanes Lecture is the annual public lecture of the University. A most distinguished public figure from the arts, science or literature is invited by special invitation of the Vice-Chancellor. The lecture was created in 1891, following an offer by John Romanes of Christ Church to fund an annual lecture, and the first lecture was given in 1892 by William Gladstone.

The 2011 lecture was given by Professor Sir Andrew Motion, entitled "Bonfire of the Humanities".
