He will talk about editing the diaries and will read extracts. Dorothy Sheridan, director of the Mass Observation Archive, will talk about the writing done by the volunteer Mass-Observers as diarists in the early period 1937?67 and compare them with the contributors to the new M-O project which started in 1981 and continues to the present day. What motivates them, how do they write and how is their writing used? Tuesday 10 May, 7.30pm Venue: Room 4, Town House, Penrhyn Road Campus, Kingston University, KT1 2EE. Event no. 22 Tickets: £5 (£3 under 18) You can book tickets online or download a booking form from the Kingston Readers' Festival website: <http://www.kingston.ac.uk/krf/> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To leave this list email [log in to unmask] Alternatively, send the following command to [log in to unmask] leave massobs --
