Reading Discussion Series: “Intellectual Seeds: the Bounty of William Sturgis, Past and Present”
6:30 pm
Location: 
Sturgis Library

Barnstable Village, MA 02630
Contact: 508-362-6636
Sign up for this winter’s Reading and Discussion Series, “Intellectual Seeds: The Bounty of William Sturgis, Past and Present.” We’ve gone back into the Library’s past and selected four of the books that Sturgis’s first patrons checked out in 1867--the Library’s inaugural year. Four scholars will examine these books from both the contemporary context of post-Civil war Massachusetts and from that of today’s readers. What insights can you gain from the literary tastes of your village predecessors? For the extra-curious, we’ll provide a list of all the popular titles that the folks in Barnstable were reading, and we’ll even order a few of the really obscure titles that were big hits in 1867.
24 January: “Silas Marner,” by George Eliot, with Dr. Elaine Craghead
28 February: “Cape Cod,” by Henry David Thoreau, with Anne Speyer
27 March: “The House of the Seven Gables,” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, with Dr. Sam Coale (who’s just published a book on Hawthorne and is working on another!)
24 April: “Richard II,” by William Shakespeare, with Dr. James Crowley
To register, call 508-362-6636, email Antonia at , or drop by the circ desk. All books are widely available in the CLAMS system, and there are limited audiobook and ebook editions available as well. Books will be ordered for registrants and given a one-month checkout period. Sponsored in part by a grant from Mass Humanities.
