"Problems in Writing a Queer Life: An Illustrated Talk"

Using photographs, holograph letters, and other evidence, Professsor Wendy Moffat will explore a few puzzles she had to solve in writing her biography of the gay British novelist E. M. Forster, which recently won the Biographers’ Club Prize for best first biography, and was an Amazon editors’ top ten gay and lesbian book for 2010. If you’re interested in biography, history of sexuality, the archives, social history, or literature, this talk is for you.  All are welcome!
