Mirrors of Greatness:
Churchill and the Leaders who Shaped Him
by David Reynolds
Wednesday, September 4 @ 6:00 pm
What We've Misunderstood
about Winston Churchill:
Winston Churchill is one of the most celebrated statesmen of the 20th century, revered for his Finest Hour as Britain's resolute wartime leader. He's often seen as a solitary genius, but British historian David Reynolds invites us to look more closely at the dark days of 1940 - offering a novel interpretation of what made Churchill great. David is a professor at Cambridge University and also a regular summer visitor to Wolfeboro since the 1970s. He'll be talking from his new book Mirrors of Greatness (Basic Books), reviewed by the Wall Street Journal as "fresh, fast-paced, and bracing." (Photo credit Graham CopeKoga)

Middlemarch
by George Eliot
Tuesday, September 10 @ 1:00 pm
Middlemarch, one of the most successful and well-known novels of the Victorian era, provides an unparalleled depiction of provincial life in nineteenth-century England. Eliot's expansive cast of clearly defined characters and the rich fabric of their tales combine in this epic to create a wise, sympathetic, and perceptive portrait of human nature.
