A GROUP that meets to discuss the written word will hear from three speakers at its next regular event.
The Wokingham Literary Society will focus on three diarists from three different centuries.
Speaker Pat Vokes will look at Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s, Diary.
She will ask how successfully Bridget makes sense of life and love through her experiences in the diary.
Eileen Davis will discuss the way a virulent imported infection frightens the population and imposes severe restrictions on individuals’ liberty in Daniel Defoe’s 18th century Journal of the Plague Year.
And Rosemary Hughes will demonstrate how Dorothy Wordsworth shared some of her brother’s literary skills in her early 19th century account, The Grasmere Journal.
The group will meet on Thursday, October 20.
