Charles Dickens Study Day

Wednesday 13 November,

12.30pm until 4.30pm

The Riverside Suite, Angel Centre, Tonbridge

Before the day, it would be helpful to be familiar with the plot and themes of Great Expectations.

Dr Geoff Doel, from Canterbury, will talk about Dickens' dark side and some of his links to Kent, followed by a question and answer session.

This will be followed by 3 structured group sessions – one on the life and times of the author; one on the characters in “Great

Expectations”

one on themes throughout the book. The book contains farce, sadness and drama. It evokes an earlier age. Yet some things never change. We realise that some of you will have grandparent duties and therefore may have to leave before the end.

We will arrange a refreshment break midway through the afternoon.

Please register for this event by e-mailing support@tonbridgeu3a.uk

Numbers are limited to 50 places, so please don't delay.

Be sure to let the organisers know, if you are unable to take up your place.
