Branch Meeting 16th November 2012

Our speaker this month is freelance writer and lecturer, Linda Hart.  Originally from New York, Linda now lives in Malvern, Worcestershire.  Her talk is entitled;

"The Dymock Poets 1911-1915"

In 1993 Linda founded the 'Friends of the Dymock Poets' society, which celebrates six literary figures who lived in, or visited, the area around Dymock in Gloucestershire just prior to the Great War.  She will concentrate on their time in Gloucestershire and the effects of war on their lives and work, especially the war poems of Rupert Brooke, Wilfrid Gibson and Edward Thomas.
