Welcome to the first ever ESA Virtual Book Club!

Hello, Peeps!

If you're reading this, you are either a Brit Lit Scholar, a Landy, or a friend of The Landys. Welcome! I'm so glad that you have chosen to participate in our group reading of Shelley's Frankenstein. For each of the assigned readings, you will see discussion questions to which you are encouraged to respond. Feel free to pose follow-up questions for the group, offer critical or philosophical commentary, or just write what you feel about the text.

Thanks again for logging on. You rock!

Truly,

Kathleen Landy
