Has Middlemarch been on your must-read list for years? Want to give one of English literature's finest classics a try but been put off by its length? Perhaps you're a die-hard Eliot fan who would love the opportunity for a re-read...
No matter what your experience with the novel, get a new perspective on it by coming to our latest Short Course for Serious Readers this Autumn. Led by Brian Nellist, co-editor of The Reader and inspiration to Merseyside readers for many years, this special course offers the chance to read one of literature's greatest sagas slowly, in the company of a congenial group of fellow readers. Over ten weeks you'll get to enjoy Middlemarch alongside some specially chosen poems and short stories, and with Brian's expert guidance dive deep into the best that literature can offer.
Sessions begin on Monday 30th September - the perfect way to get Autumn off to a Readerly start. The course costs £65 per 10 sessions or £35 for Get Into Reading members/students/pensioners/income support.
If you book on this and the accompanying Anna Karenina Short Course now, you'll get a 10% discount on the price of both courses.
Texts, refreshments and good company will be provided!
