The Joint Literary Society held its annual American Literature Lecture. OA and Senior Lecturer in American Literature at Oxford Brookes, Dr Niall Munro, gave a lecture exploring the connections between John Steinbeck and F.Scott Fitzgerald, entitled ‘But you can repeat the past: the 1920s and 30s in today’s America‘. The lecture was attended by students from the Fourth Year to the Upper Sixth, as well as by sixth form English students at St Helen’s. It was a real treat to benefit from this excellent lecture in a time of lockdown and remote working, and we’re very grateful to Dr Munro for the research and preparation that went into his talk.
