Overtaking on the Inside: Muriel Spark’s ‘The Takeover’ Forty Years down the Line
A chance to revisit Muriel Spark’s novel’ The Takeover’, forty years since its publication. Highly criticised upon release, this challenging read led to one reader proclaiming ‘What will Muriel Spark do next?’ The lecture by Willy Maley, Professor of Renaissance Studies at the University of Glasgow, will return to this important and neglected novel, conducting an overview of ‘The Takeover’ in light of Spark’s subsequent life and work.
In association with Friends of Glasgow University Library, Centre for Open Studies, Bearsden and Milngavie Decorative Arts Society and the Muriel Spark Society.
Wednesday, 17 February 2016 from 17:00 to 19:00
