An alert for today, June 7, from Grantham, Lincolnshire, UK:

Literature at Lunchtime with Dr Jane Mackay

Thursday 7 June
11.15 doors open ; 12.00 start
Grantham Guildhall Arts Center

Emily Brontë

Join Dr. Jane Mackay, founder of 'Literature Live', in pursuit of her passion for great literature.
With an obvious love for her subject, penetrating insight, wit, warmth and humanity, Jane Mackay produces an opportunity to get inside the mystery of great lives and great writing that is
not to be missed.
In The Template of Great Literature series, Jane focuses on spiritual journeys and the contribution writers' insights give our lives today.
Kicking off the series is a look at the life and works of Emily Brontë.
Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights' stands aloneas possibly the most passionately original work in the English novel and has also been called the 'first modern novel'.
We'll examine the life and art of Emily Brontë, whose search for deep emotional truth led critics to condemn her as 'vulgar in the extreme'.

Jane MacKay talks on Emily Brontë have been previously announced on this blog. Check these old posts, for instance.
