'"Entrancings." Ways into Finnegans Wake' - Finnegans Wake Seminar
We are thrilled to have Professor Finn Fordham (RHUL) as our inaugural speaker this term. In his talk, ‘“Entrancings.” Ways into Finnegans Wake’, Professor Fordham will explore various ways of navigating the novel and discuss his ‘top ten’ quotes from the text. This will be followed by a Q&A. If you have any nagging questions about Finnegans Wake, however broad or specific, please send these to Elisa Moy (elisa.moy@chch.ox.ac.uk) in advance, to get a sense of what people want to know most.

Following the overwhelming interest in the Finnegans Wake reading group last term, we are delighted to launch the brand-new Finnegans Wake Seminar Series. This will be a termly event that will host a different guest speaker each term to engage with the text in informal, innovative ways, offering new approaches and collaborative ways of reading Joyce’s famously complex work together. The event will be followed by a drinks reception.

All welcome (undergraduates included). We would be grateful if you could register your intention to attend to get a sense of numbers by emailing Elisa Moy (elisa.moy@chch.ox.ac.uk).
