sophi...@bl.uk
Location: Foyle Room, Centre for Conservation, British Library
2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the controversial US publication of
Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer. To coincide with this anniversary Dr.
Katy Masuga will be coming to the Library to share details of her work
on the life and times of Henry Miller, which has led to the
publication of two books this year: Henry Miller and How He Got That
Way (Edinburgh University Press), and The Secret Violence of Henry
Miller (Camden House). Dr. Masuga is the Adjunct Professor of British
and American literature, cinema, and the arts at the University of
Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle.
The talk will be followed by Q&A/discussion. Tea and coffee will be
provided. All are welcome to attend: you can reserve a place by
emailing summer-...@bl.uk or by posting a message on our Facebook
wall (see link below).
This talk is the first event in the new Summer Scholars programme
(#BLscholars). This series of informal lunchtime seminars is designed
to give scholars working at the Library the opportunity to discuss
recent work or work-in-progress, including forthcoming publications,
and share research experiences with one another. It will also provide
a good chance to talk about British Library-specific issues with
Curators.
Further Summer Scholars events will take place on July 27 and August
17, 2011. We’re looking for people who would like to take the
opportunity to talk about their research with other Library users, so
if you have an idea for a presentation feel free to let us know by
email (summer-...@bl.uk) or on the Facebook wall (http://
