Today would've been Ingeborg Bachmann's 100th birthday - the best day to release a ‘Taylor Edition’ of her work! Bachmann was one of the most celebrated German-language writers, and this is the first translation of fragments from her 'Todesarten' texts into English: users.ox.ac.uk/~fmml2152/pu...

The cover of 'Fragmented'. Fragmented: A New Translation of Selected Todesarten Texts: 6 (Treasures of the Taylorian: Series Two: Writers in Residence). Translated by an Oxford Student Collective, Edited by Isabel Parkinson

NEW: Introducing the Bodleian Whispering Service. Too busy to read? Our expert librarians can now quietly narrate books, articles, and selected manuscripts directly to you in our reading rooms. Please note: whispering remains subject to standard library noise regulations.

Image of a promotional poster for "NEW: The Bodleian Whispering Service." It humorously details a service where users can "Request a title, Sit quietly, and Receive knowledge." Tiers include "Journal articles," "19th Century Novels," and "War and Peace (extended session)." Launching on April 1st. The poster features icons of two figures, one appearing to whisper to the other, against a background of a historic building.
