19th Century Reading Group

We discuss a range of nineteenth-century texts proposed by postgraduate researchers in fortnightly sessions (Tuesdays, 6pm) held at the Victoria Inn (http://goo.gl/maps/8WHvk ). Open to PhD and MA students from all disciplines, these meetings are an opportunity to establish common research interests in an informal and friendly environment.

If you are interested in leading a future session, or know of someone who would like to be added to our mailing list, do please get in touch with either Jonathan (jogm201@ex.ac.uk) or Gina (grh201@ex.ac.uk).
