PBS Helps the Reader Create a Classics and Film Club

PBS enhances Masterpiece Theatre by offering resources for a classic and film club.  The website offers guidelines for creating the club, tips for reading and viewing discussions, and additional resources to dig deeper on the topic.  This winter’s offerings include Tess of the d’Ubervilles  and Wuthering Heights in January, February starts with Sense and Sensibility, and then a Charles Dickens series runs from mid-February through to May.  The Dickens movies include Oliver Twist ( a new production that I’m assuming, thankfully, won’t include “more please”), David Copperfield, Little Dorrit and Old Curiosity Shop.  What better way to snuggle up through winter than with Dickens?  Gather your friends and some snacks, read the book, see the movie and discuss away!
