Paulina Kewes is Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford, Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. She has published widely on literature, history, classical reception, plagiarism, intellectual property, and political thought from the sixteenth century to the late eighteenth. She is the author of Authorship and Appropriation: Writing for the Stage in England, 1660–1710 (1998) and editor or co-editor of The Uses of History in Early Modern England (2006), Plagiarism in Early Modern England (2003), The Oxford Handbook of Holinshed’s Chronicles (2013), Doubtful and Dangerous: The Question of Succession in Late Elizabethan England (2014), Stuart Succession Literature: Moments and Transformations (2019), and Ancient Rome in English Political Culture, ca. 1570–1660 (2020).
In 2020 she was awarded a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship for a project entitled ‘Contesting the Royal Succession in Reformation England, Latimer to Shakespeare’ (2021-2024); the resulting book will be published by Oxford University Press. She is the Principal Investigator on the international collaborative project ‘Recovering Europe’s Parliamentary Culture, 1500-1700’. The project was awarded a major grant by Oxford University’s John Fell Fund and the Europaeum, and is currently curating a blog series for the Oxford Centre of Intellectual History (https://intellectualhistory.web.ox.ac.uk/blog). Paulina is also the PI for ‘Opening Oxford 1871-’, a year-long project funded by the University’s Equality and Diversity Fund (https://openingoxford1871.web.ox.ac.uk/home). This marks 150 years since the removal by Parliament of the final religious restrictions on study and employment at the University. She is also a co-curator of a digital exhibition, ‘Oxford Re-formed’, which will be launched on the website of the Museum of Oxford on 13 January 2022.
Thursday Lunches are informal meetings with prominent Oxford academics with links to Poland (biographical or academic, or both) that give our members the opportunity to discuss weighty issues in a more relaxed atmosphere.
