SUMMARY:Literary Lunch - Nigel Shakespear: Editor of 'The Diary of Connie Shakespear'
DESCRIPTION:Nigel ShakespearConnie Shakespear's 'Diary' is a record of her travels as she accompanied her husband (a Captain in the Naga Hills Military Police) through the Naga Hills district of N.E. India in 1900-1902. The book documents the indigenous people and their life in Naga villages as well as elements of the British administration at that time. As the wife of a soldier in the Indian Army Connie has attitudes and perspectives typical of her background but she was also an unusual 'memsahib' who took a keen interest in the country and the Naga people among whom they travelled. \nThe result is a unique written and photographic record of Naga villages and their people at the turn of the 20th century as well as the self-portrait of an intrepid Victorian woman traveller\, one who could both observe and engage with the Nagas. \nThrough this personal journal\, with her interest\, close observation and documentation\, Connie presents a window on a world of tradition that was about to change. She describes the country and the people with whom she engages giving an insight into their customs and the lifestyle of the villagers. She recounts her interactions with them and their own curious observation of herself and her party with sympathy and humour. \nHer sketches and photographs\, taken with the new technology of handheld cameras for amateurs\, cover Naga morungs\, graves\, villagers in traditional clothing as well as the villages and landscape. She also covers her life in Kohima which is the British administrative base for the district\, located at the periphery of the British Raj. \nWith ten chapters of text\, sketches and photographs the diary is primary source material for those with an interest in anthropology\, history and photography of the period and at the same time provides a lively read for those interested in the travels of Victorian women and the places they ventured. \nThe Diary of Connie Shakespear – Amazon review \nTickets £23 including a light lunch and a glass of wine. \nBooking a seat is available online.If you wish to sit with a group of friends\, the booking should be done at the same time to obtain adjacent seat numbers.Seating changes may be available up to 1 week before the event by phoning Cass in the VH Office on 01252 844876 (Mon-Thu 0900-1500 Fri 0800-1500) or email to admin.victoriahall@gmail.com MainSlow cooked pork and cider hotpot\, topped with sliced potatoes.orButter bean and Squash crumble (Vegan\, DF)with carrots and peas andcrusty bread with butterDessert     There will be a selection of mini desserts\, served on large platters for people to help themselves.Chocolate brownie squares with raspberry & whipped cream (Gluten free version available)New York style cheesecake squares with homemade lemon curdMini meringue with seasonal fruit (GF) \nTea or Coffee
