Marianne Moore, like Pablo Picasso, broke free of tradition and reassembled the pieces in a new and sometimes confounding way. In this tour, we will study her letters, clippings and the objects she surrounded herself with to find out more about the sources for her revolutionary and groundbreaking work.

Reading Group
6:00PM - 7:45PM
The Ulysses reading group at the Rosenbach is a fun and painless way to read (and finish!) James Joyce’s masterpiece. Led by Beth Blum, a Joyce scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, this nine-session course incorporates a chapter-by-chapter discussion of the text, with detours into Joyce’s personal life and artistic method. We will also explore Joyce’s engagement with the literary movement of high modernism and some of its key representatives. Special class sessions are dedicated to using the Rosenbach’s Ulysses manuscript and other Joycean papers to tell the story of how the novel was written. Ulysses Reading Group participants are invited to read at Bloomsday.
This reading group was offered October 2010-June 2011
