Timeline
Katherine Dorothea Duncan-Jones, (13 May 1941 – 16 October 2022) was an English literature and Shakespeare scholar and was also a Fellow of New Hall, Cambridge (1965–1966), and then Somerville College, Oxford (1966–2001).
She was educated at King Edward VI High School for Girls, Birmingham, an all-girls private school.
She studied at St Hilda's College, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree and a Bachelor of Letters (BLitt) degree: as per tradition, her BA was later promoted to a Master of Arts (MA Oxon) degree.
Duncan-Jones was Mary Ewart Residential Fellow at Somerville College, Oxford, from 1963 to 1965.
She was then a fellow of New Hall, Cambridge, from 1965 to 1966.
She then returned to Somerville College and was fellow and tutor in English Literature between 1966 and her retirement in 2001.
Duncan-Jones married the writer A. N. Wilson in 1971.
Together they had two daughters: Emily, a classicist, and Bee Wilson, a food writer.
Duncan-Jones died from complications of dementia on 16 October 2022, at the age of 81.
In 1991, Duncan-Jones was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (FRSL).
She was a prolific writer and essayist, whose articles often appeared in Renaissance Quarterly.
She was a beloved teacher and supported younger scholars, especially women, in academia.
For many years, she regularly reviewed productions of early modern drama for The Times Literary Supplement.
Her speciality was early modern literature, and she had particular interests in clowns, transvestism, visual art and Italian and Classical influences on Renaissance British literature.
Her early work focused on the work of Sir Philip Sidney, the subject of her B. Litt.
thesis, of whom she wrote a definitive biography and a collected edition.
She wrote a pair of biographies of William Shakespeare, notable for their willingness to challenge received wisdom, their situating of Shakespeare within the context of his time, and their lack of "bardolatry"; Duncan-Jones was always well aware that there can be a vast distance between a person and their artistic work.
Her biographical writing on Shakespeare pointed to evidence she discovered, through careful study of archives, that the man, if not the poet, was a social climber obsessed with acquiring his coat of arms.
Like her earlier work on Sidney, her biographies of Shakespeare unearthed the "man behind the myth".
Duncan-Jones is remembered for her love and knowledge of the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, her devotion to Renaissance literature and to the Bodleian Library, and her love of live theatre, especially productions of Shakespeare and other Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatists.
She produced a definitive edition of Shakespeare's poems for Arden (with Henry Woudhuysen) and of Shakespeare's sonnets (also for the Arden Shakespeare).
She was also Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford from 1998 to 2001.
She was a scholar of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
She was also professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford from 1998 to 2001.
