Come work with us! Reminder that my colleague Lukas Erne is advertising a doctoral position in early modern English literature here in Geneva. This is a fantastic (and funded) opportunity for someone intending to do a PhD

I was delighted to be asked to write this article for Psyche Magazine — some personal reflections and advice on learning languages as an adult. I've tried to share some ideas about the *how* of language-learning which I hope some will find useful!

Such a brilliant #BSA2021 workshop on 'Shakespeare's Rivals' by Ollie Jones and Michael Cordner 👏👏👏 British Shakespeare Association 2026 Conference Lovely to have attention paid to my man John Marston and his plays! The Oxford Marston

We are enormously sad to report that Professor David Lindley passed away peacefully over the weekend. We will miss his warm friendship, collegiality, and sensible attitude to scholarship. He leaves behind a rich and influential body of work.

The editorial team of the The Oxford Marston are devastated to report the death of our dear friend David Lindley. We are going to miss him terribly.

This really is enormously sad. David was an amazing warm witty academic who gave me so much support as an early career researcher. I will miss his wry comments, his kindness and his brilliant thinking about music and literature tremendously.

Very sad to read this. David Lindley was my first-year tutor at Leeds. I remember how infectious his enthusiasm was – for George Herbert in particular.

So very sad to hear this news. David Lindley was always a most welcome visitor to Shakespeare B Trust library and Archive where Iworked until 2016. We always had a good catch up, sharing our love of Shakespeare and music 😢

So sorry to read this news. Whenever I saw David, he always introduced himself & commented positively on a paper I had given or a question I had asked. As someone else ŵ a terrible memory for faces, I had met a kindred spirit. Such a generous, collegial man & a brilliant scholar.

David was everything a PhD supervisor should be: challenging, a stickler for clarity, always responsive and full of warmth and humour. He will be missed so much by many and I will always be grateful for having the chance to work with him.

I admired David Lindley very much. He was a first-class scholar, doing inventive and surprising work throughout his career; and he also had a knack of making you feel welcome, whatever your status, and talking to you like you were a human being.

This is very sad. Such a lovely man.

Like so many others, I am sharing this because I learned so much from David…and liked seeing his face anywhere from the podium to the pub to the theatre—& will miss him always. It was an honor and it was great fun to know him.

Vale David Lindley 💔

It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Professor David Lindley. David was a frequent and welcome visitor to our Reading Room. His publications, notably those on The Tempest and on Shakespeare and music, will continue to benefit our readers for decades to come.
