The ‘Sidney Greats’ lecture series, conceived by Dr Edward Wilson-Lee and Clive Wilmer, was designed to introduce some of the greatest books and ideas in history to College undergraduates, graduates, Fellows and staff.
Dr Edward Wilson-Lee said, “The series proved very popular, and the 250 spaces available for undergraduate and graduate students were snapped up within hours of being posted.”
The popularity of the lectures, coupled with the desire to reach an audience further afield, encouraged the lectures’ founders to make the series freely available on iTunes and to continue in years to come.
