Kipling reading group (LIT 14(z))

  • Day and time: Tuesday 10:00 - 11:30
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (10 Weeks), Spring (10 Weeks), Summer (6 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 20
  • Start date: 12 October 2021
  • Description:

    We read aloud the works of Rudyard Kipling in turn. After each short story or chapter we pause to discuss and reflect on the passage. Occasionally members of the group make short presentations on relevant subjects. Meetings are usually at Magdalene College (The Buckingham Room) where we gather for coffee and a chat from 10 am onwards and start the reading and discussions from 10:30. After the session some of us occasionally move on to a local restaurant for a coffee and snack. In September we will confirm which book we will be reading in the first term. We suggest that new members obtain a copy of 'The Collected Poems of Rudyard Kipling' published by The Wordsworth Library. Then we will read other books and poetry from Kipling's very extensive repertoire chosen by the group. Kipling was an Honorary Fellow of Magdalene College so it is fitting that we meet there.
