This group  meets once a month on a Monday afternoon.

We discuss classic novels and occasionally a poem or play, looking at the context
of the work, literary style and conventions.

We  think about what the writer was trying to achieve and what techniques he used.

We look at characters, plot and themes in an analytical way.

This approach appeals to people who are interested in an overview of English Literature and who like to extend their appreciation of literature beyond simple discussion.

It is quite demanding.

This has proved such a popular subject that a new group has now been created

albeit with a different Leader.

This new group will  will read and discuss the staples of a formal English Literature course, placing them in their historical context, but in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

A reading list has not been prepared as the Leader intends to see who comes forward with some suggestions.

Further information is available in the latest Newsletter
details of which can be found on the News Page.
