"First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity" (Tom Broadbent, in John Bull's Other Island.) In the play that was his first theatrical success, George Bernard Shaw put this maxim is the mouth of a character he described as "a successful muddler-through in business and love"
In love, of course, we are *all* more or less successful muddlers through...and thereby hangs a tale! This month's session is dedicated to First Loves and the glories and follies that come with them. All True Lovers, Hopeful Puppies, Bumbling Innocents, Dazed Infatuates, and High Hearts (whether present or former) are invited to share their stories. We welcome tales from SL and RL, so come tell us about your youthful yearnings, elusive glimpses, first times ....well, perhaps not *that* first time...and all the wonder and drollery of Cupid's first call.
Sponsored by the Caledon Library & the Clan of Seafarers and Storytellers, hosted by master storyteller Aldo Stern
Book Discussion - The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) by Oscar Wilde
The Sense of Self in 19th century literature - a discussion series led by Kghia Gherardi
Tuesday February 10 6-7 pm SLT
Caledon Library & Welcome Centre, Caledon Victoria City
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20Victoria%20City/160/117/23
As exploration, industrialization and colonization expanded during the nineteenth century, the way the individual viewed his and her role within this world also altered. This literature series will look at how the individual defines himself or herself, how societies react to these changes, and how the evolving sense of self succeeds and fails.
In The Picture of Dorian Gray Oscar Wilde explores the union, and the disjunction, of the social, or worldly, self, and the private self...and gives us an portrait of vanity and hypocrisy that lingers in the mind long after the last page is turned.
Those wishing to prepare for the discussion can find an excellent online version here....or listen to this reading from Librivox using the embedded player below (Courtesy of the Internet Archive)
