Watching the film

A very short blog today: we watched Act 1 of the very grainy, scratchy (but quite effective, I thought) black and white film of "A View from the Bridge". It was made in 1961 (though it looked more like 1861) so the clothes, set and so on would be quite authentic for the period. We'll watch Act 2 next week so if you don't want to see it, don't feel you have to come to class.

Homework for next week is the 2007 Close Reading, passage 2, about the digitisation of the Bodleian
and the boy sitting in the courtyard of Cambridge University Library. This is homework – and if you haven’t done the first passage yet then I’d be happy to get both together next week. Or not.
