SUMMARY:BOOK OF THE BARD: Exploring Shakespeare's First Folio
DESCRIPTION:BOOK OF THE BARD: Exploring Shakespeare’s First Folio\nFrom 2pm \nDistinguished Shakespeare scholar Professor Emma Smith is coming to Leeds to talk about the very first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays – probably the most influential secular book ever printed. Without it\, half of the Bard’s plays would have been lost.\nLearn about the tumultuous origins of what has become one of the most valuable printed books in the world and hear about what happened to copies of the First Folio after it appeared in 1623. Some show how the plays were received in different theatres; others contain doodles and even children’s drawings. Its changing value can be traced as books were rebound and sold for higher prices\, because it rapidly became an expensive trophy for the few who could afford to pay for it. \nCopies formerly owned by aristocrats were bought up by factory owners\, including the Gott family from Leeds. English libraries were broken up and sold to wealthy Americans – and in some cases\, as with the copy in the Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds\, came back again! \nTickets £8 on the door (card or cash)

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Gather outside 21 Estcourt Avenue at 1.30pm to listen to musician Jem Dobbs\, who lived there for his first nineteen years\, then walk to the nearby HEART Centre in Bennett Road. \n  \nA tribute to the great author\, who in late 1936 worked on his notes for ‘The Road to Wigan Pier’ in Headingley at number 21 Estcourt Avenue where his sister Marjorie Dakin lived. Les Hurst\, Research Officer for the Orwell Society\, an expert on the book\, will talk about it (with readings) and answer questions. Orwell devoted the final section to his idiosyncratic thoughts on Socialism\, and these will be included in any discussions. \nGeorge Orwell (Eric Blair) was researching the terrible living and working conditions amongst poverty-stricken people in Lancashire and Yorkshire during the Depression. In the early part of the year he lived in Wigan\, Sheffield and Barnsley\, and for two short periods in March he worked in Headingley. When the book was published in 1937 by Gollancz as a Left Book Club selection\, its vivid details of the suffering inflicted by poverty shocked most of its readers\, but his views on Socialism caused factional disputes. Today\, of course\, many readers will compare and contrast Orwell’s findings with the situation in Britain today. \nThis event is Headingley LitFest’s contribution to the Leeds Lit Fest 2022. \nPay what you can. Donations welcome.
