Toller Lecture

The Toller Lecture is an annual lecture at the University of Manchester's Manchester Centre for Anglo-Saxon Studies (MANCASS). It is named after Thomas Northcote Toller, one of the editors of An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary.^[1]

Notable lecturers have included Janet Bateley, the first Toller lecturer,^[2] Rolf Bremmer,^[3] George Brown, Michelle P. Brown,^[4] Roberta Frank,^[5] Helmut Gneuss,^[6] Nicholas Howe, Joyce Hill,^[7] Simon Keynes, Clare Lees,^[8] Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe,^[9] Paul Szarmach, Elaine Treharne,^[10] Leslie Webster^[11] and Barbara Yorke.^[12] In the past, most Toller lectures were published in the Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester; while a collection containing the revised and updated lectures from 1987 to 1997, together with new essays on Toller and the Toller Collection in the John Rylands Library, was published in 2003.^[13] However, with the establishment of the John Rylands Research Institute, the decision was made to prioritise the Special Collections of the Library in a revamped Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, and Toller lectures were no longer published there. It was therefore decided to publish recent Toller lectures as a separate collection which appeared in 2017.^[14]
