WINTER WEEKEND 2010: Middlemarch

The text for Winter Weekend 2010 is George Eliot’s Middlemarch. This English masterpiece follows the social and intellectual lives of very human characters in a small provincial town.

Winter Weekend 2010 takes place March 12 and 13 at Bowdoin College in Brunswick. The $200 registration fee includes a copy of the book, background readings, a reception, dinner, lunch, and coffee. CEUs are available for teachers. Limited scholarships are available for college and high school students. The program starts at 5 p.m. on Friday and continues until mid-afternoon on Saturday.

We’re sorry—the program is sold out. If you would like your name placed on the waiting list, please call Karen Myrick at (207) 773-5051 or e-mailing to info@mainehumanities.org.
