"My
aim as a lecturer" writes RPG,
"is not just to tell my audience about the past, not
just to make them think about it, but to make it live again
in front of their eyes. A lecture of mine is therefore conceived
as not only an intellectual but also a dramatic entertainment.
"So I bring to life literary personalities - setting them in their time and their
place - and encourage my audience to engage with the human dilemmas
of people who previously may have been no more than names on a book
cover or at the end of a printed page. And a greater understanding of the writers
as human beings usually leads to a deeper appreciation of their work."
