The Radcliffe Camera, The Bodleian Library. The Library is a major new partner of the Festival.
Welcome WELCOME We are delighted to welcome you to the 2009 Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival - our biggest yet, spread over eight days with more than 430 speakers. We have an unprecedented and stimulating series of prestige events in the magnificent surroundings of Christ Church, the Sheldonian Theatre and Bodleian Library. But much also to amuse and divert. Ticket prices have been held to 2008 levels, offering outstanding value for money, so that everyone can enjoy a host of national and international speakers, talking, conversing and debating throughout the week on every conceivable topic. The Sunday Times Oxford Festival is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in a friendly and welcoming environment, reflecting the outstanding traditions of creative discourse and scholarship for which the University of Oxford and its Colleges are famous throughout the world. When Thomas Bodley established his great library, he envisaged a ‘Republic of Learning’, a concept that inspires us all still, and constitutes a remarkable heritage. We are very pleased to welcome Corpus Christi, Jesus, Oriel and Pembroke Colleges to the Festival this year and honoured to stage the first Bodleian Library Programme. Particular thanks this year to our partners at The Sunday Times for their tremendous coverage and support of the Festival, and to all our very generous sponsors, donors and supporters, especially our friends at Cox and Kings Travel. We have enlarged and enhanced public facilities in the marquees at Christ Church Meadow and in the Master’s Garden, which we hope you will enjoy. We are very grateful to the Dean, the Governing Body and the staff at Christ Church for their help and support. Hitherto, the Festival has been a ‘Not for Profit’ Company, but during 2009 we will move to establish a new Charitable Trust. One of the enduring pleasures of the Festival for many of our writers and festival goers is the opportunity to spend a few days or a week at Christ Church, eating in the Great Hall, with good food, wine, company and conversation; walking through the college cloisters, gardens and meadows, the perfect backdrop to a celebration of books and their authors.
