Wednesdays 10.30-12.30 pm
22nd April -20th May
(Judith Hedley)
5-week course £45.00
The recent success of ‘Hamnet’ suggests it’s time to put the spotlight not only on Shakespeare’s wife but on other women who played walk-on parts in literary history. Some are sisters to women of genius – Claire Clairmont shared Mary Shelley’s elopement and exile, Cassandra Austen was Jane’s closest confidante – while wives Catherine Dickens and Emma Hardy nursed ambitions of their own while enduring more than the usual trials and tribulations of Victorian marriage. An interest in these lives is all you need to join us on this short course; any reading will be provided in booklet form week by week.
Thank you for your interest in our course! You can easily book your spot with us directly, by phone or visiting in person at the N.M.I.
