The Monthly Read with Dr Stephen Derry
IN VIEW OF THE CORONOVIRUS OUTBREAK IN THE UK, WE HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO POSTPONE ALL FUTURE PUBLIC ENGLISH AND CREATIVE WRITING SHORT COURSES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR ONE OF OUR SUMMER SHORT COURSES, YOUR PLACE WILL BE RESERVED FOR THE NEW DATES (TO BE ANNOUNCED IN DUE COURSE).
If you enjoy reading literature for pleasure, would like to build your confidence in discussing texts and be introduced to new ideas, this course could be for you. This is a supportive group for readers who simply wish to share ideas about books with the guidance of a university tutor. Each term we study three texts linked by a common literary theme.
