The next meeting of the BADS book group will be on 28 June 2024 at 18.00-19.00 (GMT).
The group meets virtually to discuss a selected piece of decadent literature in an informal, collegial environment. Graduate students working in decadence may be particularly interested, but all are welcome!
Our next session will be on Rachilde's The Marquise de Sade (1887) and Francesca Penchant will be giving a presentation to start off the discussion of the novel!
If you have any questions, ideas, or concerns, please contact our Student Member, Conner Moore.
