The “Shakespeare and Company Project” conducts a discussion of Mansfield's collection of short stories.
The discussion, led by staff and scholars from the university, is the first in a series of explorations of titles frequently borrowed from Shakespeare and Company in Paris. Shakespeare and Company, an English-language bookshop and lending library in Paris, was opened by American Sylvia Beach in 1919. The shop became the home away from home for a community of expatriate writers and artists now known as the Lost Generation.
The book is freely accessible here.
The series continues Dec. 7 with a discussion of "Pointed Roofs" by Dorothy Richardson.
A discussion of "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce concludes the series on Jan. 4.
Presented in partnership with Princeton University's "Shakespeare and Company Project."
Made possible, in part, by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
