Sir Thomas Browne Day 2018

Thomas Browne Day 2018 went off very well. It was a beautiful autumnal day and we spent a nice time on Hay Hill talking to people who, for the most part, didn't know much about Browne. There was  a good turn-out for Barbara Miller's talk and tour in St Peter Mancroft Church and Kevin Faulkner recited several pieces on Hay Hill underneath the statue of the man himself, in 17th century costume.

In the evening, a well-attended talk about the literary style of Thomas Browne by George Szirtes was extremely well received. There is a transcript of George's talk here and we will shortly be loading up a filmed version for those that weren't able to come in person. The talk was followed by a discussion between George, Lucy Ward (write2screen) and Anna Wyatt (UEA).
Poet George Szirtes gave the 2018 Sir Thomas Browne Day Talk at Dragon Hall on Friday 19 October 2018. The talk was followed by a discussion between George, Anna Wyatt (UEA) and Lucy Ward (write2screen). Here is a transcript of George's talk with a filmed version to follow
