Reading Henry James

Tuesday, July 11 and July 18, 2017, 2–4 pm

Tickets include two sessions.

Sharon Fulton, scholar of English and Comparative Literature, guides this multi-disciplinary workshop illuminating the literary mastery of Henry James, drawing connections between his groundbreaking novel The Portrait of a Lady and the artistic masterpieces of John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler. Participants will examine the novel in two workshop sessions. Each literary discussion will be followed by a visit to the exhibition Henry James and American Painting to compare the novel’s scenes to the artist’s paintings. Advance tickets are recommended, as space is limited.
