I’m happy to say that the long-promised Reading Recommendations list is finally live - hurrah!
I’m less happy, however, to have to say that it’s far from elegant at this stage. Some of you know that I’ve had several Unavoidable Things on my to-do list recently, so I made an executive decision to simply get a reading list up and Out There.
So caveat lector. The list is, I’m afraid, a bit of a stream-of-consciousness splurge just now (wot? Me? Using 100 words when just 5 would suffice? I’m sure I don’t know what you mean. Ahem), but it does at least have the recommendations and links. I hope that that is sufficiently useful/of interest to mitigate any irritation caused by its temporary clunkiness.
If you’re interested despite that health warning, please click here to have a look. I shall knock it into a more pleasing format as soon as I can - promise!
Secondly, in the light of the pleasingly positive comments about our recent scheduling experiment of short courses/taster sessions for the first two Saturdays of every month, we’re pleased to offer you some fin de siècle entertainment for your early April weekends, via The Universal Exhibitions: Paris 1889 & 1900.
Did you enjoy Art Nouveau? Did you enjoy Post-impressionism? Are you waiting for us to resurrect those (which is very likely before long. You heard it here first!), and would like a fin de siècle fix in the meantime? Are you intrigued by La Belle Époque: Art, history, and culture in the late C19. but not sure whether it’s for you? Well voila. At the risk of repetition, ooh and, indeed, la la!
Next up, Robert’s second In Real Life course via WEA for next term is now officially open for booking.
For further details, please see Age of Rococo: History, art, and culture in the 18th century. If you already know you want to go for it, voila the direct link to WEA so you can enrol without further ado!
Finally, I’m afraid that we’re still working out the tech logistics for Yorkshire Battles - Robert’s short course for PLACE, which starts on 20 April. This is now at the top of our to-do list. Watch this space, and many thanks (to you and, of course, to PLACE) for bearing with us.
