All are welcome.  This is a book discussion group led by Doris Taber.  This month's book is Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy.  First published in 1894 as a magazine serial, Jude the Obscure shocked Victorian critics and readers with a frank depiction of sexuality and an unbridled indictment of the institutions of marriage, education and religion, reportedly causing one Anglican bishop to order the book publicly burned.  This should be a great discussion.  Copies of the book will be available in the reading room of the Winchester Public Library at least one month prior to the event.
