Venue: A private house in central Eastbourne - details from the group leader

This is a new group aimed at those who are keen novel readers and have a particular interest in the ‘classic novels’ of the 19th century and first half of the 20th.

The sessions are run along the lines of a book club: members of the group take it in turns to nominate a novel and will introduce it and talk a little about the author. This will be followed by a general discussion about the novel: its characters, themes, context etc. We will also watch video lectures on the history of the novel and on individual authors. Group members will need to have the time to read one novel a month in advance of the meeting. The group has room for a limited number of new members.
