Upcoming Postings: a summary

Dear Both

Just a quickie to confirm the posting commitments this week:

Thandi will do an "article summary" of the chapter in the Scott and First biography on Schreiner that deals with the "Men's and Women's Club", and their discussions of sexology and social conditions in Victorian England. Because this is an intense piece of reading which she only received on Monday, and the written piece will be a substantial one, she will post by 11 am on Friday morning, and we will comment within 24 hours of that post.

Gustav has committed himself to post a "trivia" column on Herbert Spencer and Social Darwinist ideas. This will come in at  the usual time by 5 pm Wednesday (today).

Hope I've got it right?

For next week Wednesday and Friday, we can, and should!, continue with the discussion of social Darwinist ideas, but I will also need volunteers to write about Eugene Marais. Two articles on his work are going up on Google Drive today - so please have a look and see if you would like to summarise or review either of them for next week.  We can watch Die Wonderwerker together in Montagu next weekend.

All the best,

Lannie
