How the blog works




The most recent entries or "posts" appear at the top. To find older ones, scroll down. On the right at the bottom of the page are links to older posts, which you can click on to find material posted last year, last month, etc.

Contributions are welcome and can be e-mailed to me at lawrenceyoulten@gmail.com. Content can include 1) announcements about, or introductions to, forthcoming meetings and other events of possible interest to members. 2) Summaries of talks given at Literary Society meetings or at meetings of the Book Group. 3) Announcements of forthcoming TV or radio programmes of possible interest to readers. 4) Reviews of books read recently or in the past.

Ideally, contributions should be submitted as documents in Word format (.doc or .docx files) and pictures in the form of .jpg files but other formats, including .pdf files are acceptable.

Links can be included to give easy access to relevant material on the internet.

News from Gillian Southgate 

On 23 September on BBC4 at 8.30pm Cerys Matthews 
looked at the Celtic myth saga The Mabinogion, one of the great 
literary treasures of the medieval world, according to Matthews. They were 
part of the oral tradition till they were translated and put to a wider 
audience in Victorian times.  There have been four of these Secret Life of 
Books programmes, and I have seen three of them. Simon Russell Beale on 
Shakespeare, a Professor of English on Mrs. Dalloway, and an actor on Great 
Expectations. Quality has been variable but all are worth watching, and will 
probably be repeated if blog readers look out for them in TV schedules.
