“I see the classics all around me, but that’s me,” says eminent classicist Mary Beard. “I like studying the ancients—it’s partly because they’re interesting, but they also give me a way of focusing back on to the things about our own culture that they would find odd,” she adds. Mary Beard is one of the 2019 recipients of the J. Paul Getty Medal for contributions to the arts, along with painter, photographer, and bookmaker Ed Ruscha and multimedia artist and photographer Lorna Simpson. Join Beard

We were honoured to have Dame Professor Mary Beard host the Friends of the Bodleian's Annual Lecture 2025, which was an extra special celebration to mark 100 years of the Friends. The title of Mary's talk was 'Risky encounters: the library in fact and fiction'. Just in case it wasn't already clear from this clip, everybody's favourite Classicist delivered in her signature scholarly-yet-accessible style, combining rigorous research with a hefty dollop of humour.
