Writers have always looked to nature for inspiration. The natural world can form the backdrop to a story, or sometimes even become a character in itself. In this workshop we will look at examples of nature writing in fiction and memoir and examine how depiction of landscape, wildlife and weather can create mood and tone. Author Elizabeth Delo will guide you through a series of exercises to explore your relationship with the natural world, and describe the environment around you.

In this special event for Sturminster Newton Literary Festival, Sally Page will talk about the inspiration for her book, The Secrets of Flowers with local florist Emma Whicher from Martha and the Meadow. The talk will be preceded by a floristry demonstration by Esme from Daisy Delbridge. The Secrets of Flowers is a story based on a newly widowed lady and the florist on the Titanic.

Chancing upon this obscure all-female literary club in academic works led the authors to investigate further. Founded in 1736 by the young, free-thinking Susanna Ashley-Cooper the 4th Countess of Shaftesbury, the members met to read and discuss Shakespeare’s plays. Appalled that The Bard’s “earthy” plays had been “cleaned-up”, the SLC campaigned to re-stage the original texts – and to install a long overdue statue to him in Poet’s Corner, Westminster Abbey.

Andrew Norman’s book is about how the great Dorset man-of-letters described, in his poems and novels, his love for Emma; but also his estrangement from her as their marriage gradually deteriorated over the years; and finally his intense grief at her death. Why did he feel such grief, given the circumstances, and how did he cope with bereavement? Finally, he reveals a liaison which Hardy had with one of his female servants, which took place at Sturminster Newton and had unforeseen consequences!

Michael Langridge, in conversation with Dr Tracy Hayes, talks about his latest novel, ‘A Casterbridge Tale’. Set in Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, it is a crime novel featuring Detective Inspector Hawkins, a principal character from his highly acclaimed first novel ‘A Second Mrs Clare’. In ‘A Casterbridge Tale’. Hawkins must negotiate his way between his duty and his conscience, jeopardising his career and his life as he tracks down the instigators of a brutal and outrageous crime.
