Literature Cambridge has good news for those who live at a distance from the University of Cambridge: Its upcoming Study Days are moving online. The intensive but accessible sessions will be held via Zoom, due to the coronavirus.
Each session has a lecture and seminar with a leading scholar and will last approximately 100 minutes. Organizers recommend that you allow two hours for each class, just in case they run a bit longer.
