If you have ever complained about students, be grateful that you did not live in Oxford in past centuries. Richard O. Smith has delved into the archives to retell student mischief and mayhem from the 13th to the 21st century. He recalls the greatest stunts and practical jokes in the University of Oxford’s history, including those by Oscar Wilde, Percy Shelley and Richard Burton. His witty and often hilarious talk highlights the competing debauchery between town and gown over the last 800 years. Smith is a writer for Radio 4’s The Now Show and writes the popular The Oxford Times column Oxford Examined.
