December 3, 2003... December 9th speaker
Hi,
I'm pleased to announce that the speaker for the Dartmouth Club meeting on December 9th is Michael Groden, a Professor of English at the University of Western Ontario and a fellow alumnus.
Michael is a modern literature specialist with expertise in James Joyce's works. That's difficult stuff, and one of the things that Mike will address is his effort in making a work like Ulysses more accessible to the broader public.
Some themes he may touch upon:
- what makes a literary work important and keeps it important?
- how can a work like Ulysses, which most people read in college and university courses, be brought into the wider culture?
- how can computer technology aid people in reading and studying literature?
The discussion should be very interesting, and relevant. Rest assured, the discussion format will be informal, and there's no expectation that you will have read Finnegan's Wake by Tuesday :-)
See you there,
Chris Chen
