Gillian is also our speaker at this Friday's Literary Society meeting.

She has an Honours degree and a Master of Arts in English and American Literature from the University of Kent. She taught the subject at undergraduate level at Canterbury Christ Church University until she retired. A short spell in her youth was spent training as a journalist on Warwickshire and Worcestershire Life magazine in Leamington Spa but she gave it up for the academic life.  She’s been published in academic journals, in magazines, has written literary criticism for students and bookgroups, and regularly wins prizes in The Oldie and The Spectator poetry competitions. Between 2004 and 2008, she was a Fellow of Jane Franklin Hall at the University of Tasmania and gave the Governor’s Lady Hamilton lecture in Hobart in 2005 on  the literature on the USA. Here in Winchelsea she’s spoken three times to the Literary Society on the subjects of Katherine Mansfield, The Bloomsbury Group and Geoffrey Chaucer. This Friday's talk is entitled: ‘How America found its Writing Voice.’
