Forthcoming Patrons' event
Intelligence Squared Bloomsbury Book Club with Kate Summerscale
Thursday, 6 September
6pm for 6.30pm
Bloomsbury Publishing has invited British Library Patrons to the heart of literary London for its new series of author events, hosted at its magnificent offices in Georgian Bedford Square.
Join Kate Summerscale and her editor Alexandra Pringle for an intimate discussion about the true story of the scandalous divorce trial that rocked Victorian England. As in her award-winning and bestselling The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, Kate’s new book Mrs Robinson’s Disgrace recreates the Victorian world, chronicling in exquisite and compelling detail the life of Isabella Robinson, whose husband divorced her on the grounds of adultery after discovering the passionate contents of her private diary.
Tickets are free for British Library Patrons. Join the Patrons' Programme.
The Library's ethos, principles and ambitions strike a chord with me; the services on offer are the practical demonstration of what the place is about.

I have had a lifelong love of books and feel that the British Library is an inspiring place and well worthy of support, particularly at a time when funding for the arts in general appears to be under threat.
