Continung Education: Journey to the Centre of the Book
Amanda Boston writes to remind us of her Continuing Education course 'Journey to the Centre of the Book' which will run over five monthly meetings starting Wed 10th October from 2 - 4 p.m at the University of Liverpool. Amanda says:
We'll explore the significance of place, both real and imaginary, in five wonderful novels spanning a century. Each two hour session will focus on reading, discussing and enjoying a number of selected passages. Jane Austen's 1816 masterpiece Emma will be our departure point and personally I can't wait to journey to Highbury and to reacquainte myself, in your company, with Emma Woodhouse, Mr. Knightley and friends. It would be great if you can read Emma before the first meeting but don't worry if you can't manage - copies of the passages, and various other goodies, will be provided.
In subsequent months we'll be reading Hardy's Return of the Native, Bronte's Wuthering Heights, George Eliot's Middlemarch and finally visiting Joyce's Dublin in his short story collection The Dubliners.
I am really excited about teaching this course as some of my most vivid reading experiences have been with C. E. classes both as teacher and initially as a student. looking forward to meeting you.
Here's the link to Continuing Education at Liverpool. The closing date for signing up is Monday 1 October.
