On Sunday 3rd February authors Kirsty Gunn and Gabriel Josipovici, join Delia da Sousa Correa from The Open University in the first of a series of OU events taking place at London’s Southbank Centre as part of the The Rest is Noise Festival.

The presentation is titled: Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf: Writing, Music and Modernity and discusses how music might have affected the writing of Modernists Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf. Mansfield was a trained cellist; Woolf attended concerts throughout her writing life. Composers from Wagner to Debussy influenced both of their writing. The presenters will discuss the relationship between music and writing in Mansfield and Woolf and in their own work.

The talk takes place at Purcell Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall, between 12 and 1pm.
