It says in the article that, "Beard attended an all-female direct grant school"

Which all-female direct grant school? Beard commented that she was not keen on the boys from Shrewsbury School, when interviewed on Radio4's Desert Island Discs. Why Shrewsbury School? Was it nearby? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.233.172 (talk) 11:46, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article has since been edited to include details. Span (talk) 01:58, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dates overlap

It says she remained in Cambridge till 1982. Then says she was in London from 1979. I guess she graduated in 1976, spend 3 yrs in Cambridge studying for her PhD then 3 years working in London while writing it up in her spare time. Please clarify. 31.185.241.136 (talk) 11:35, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overseas and International

Include material on extensive American and Italian connections. How many languages does she speak - etc — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.126.127.225 (talk) 11:55, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Degree

"Beard received a BA (Hons) at Newnham" - in which subject? The article doesn't say. There's an implication that it was Classics, but is this the case? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 11:17, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It can pretty much be taken for granted that it was; she has pursued the field of classics in academic and popularizing writing ever since, and she's clearly not specializing in language-oriented Latin studies. Her writing a book about the Roman republic with Crawford (who had serious credentials of his own in this field) at age 30, to begin there, would not have happened if she had not been a certified classical scholar. 83.254.154.164 (talk) 00:29, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
