Hi there! Could I tempt anyone to come along to the small but perfectly formed Mansfield College this evening, Wed 13/6/12, to hear our visiting fellow Dr.Matthew Grenby's lecture 'William Godwin and the Politics of Children's Literature? It is hosted by the College's '1963 Society' (History group). Students from other colleges very welcome, refreshments provided. It's in the Council Room at 8pm.
As you prob'ly know, Godwin was an early feminist and Utilitarian, husband of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Mary Shelley. He was also a children's author and Dr.Grenby will be focusing on this less well known aspect of Godwin's life.
