HOUSE ONLINE BOOK GROUPS, 2008- 2009

All you need is an email account, and a willingness
to engage in free and perhaps free-wheeling discussion
of an interesting book with a member of Penn's faculty.
Join romanticist and award-winning teacher
Michael Gamer in a discussion
of Jane Austen's novel Emma;
Jack Lynch, a scholar of
18th-century literature and innovator in uses of the
web, for a discussion of Mary
Shelley's gothic classic, Frankenstein;
Al Filreis leading a
discussion for Los Angeles-area alumni on
Jon Avnet's film about the Warsaw
Ghetto revolt, Uprising; and
Jim O'Donnell leading a
conversation about how you get started reading
Proust.
In addition to our former students, we are pleased to
invite parents of current Penn students to participate.
To join, simply send a message to
whbook@english.upenn.edu. Please supply the
