Online Event: The Elizabeth Bowen Birthday Lecture: “Treading on Bowen’s grave – Writing The Last Day at Bowen’s Court”

The Elizabeth Bowen Birthday Lecture – ‘Treading on Bowen’s grave – Writing The Last Day at Bowen’s Court’ by Dr Eibhear Walshe (University College, Cork). 

Introduced by the Elizabeth Bowen Society co-chairs, Dr Nicola Darwood (University of Bedfordshire) and Dr Nick Turner (Open University).  

In this birthday lecture, Eibhear Walshe discusses his experience of fictionalising the life of Elizabeth Bowen in his 2020 novel, The Last Day at Bowen’s Court, and looks at the way his creative process was helped by his research on Bowen and Ireland and the letters between Bowen and Charles Ritchie. The ways in which fiction can transcend the limits of biography is at the centre of his interest.
