Final at UMW under my supervision, that is. It may happen again at my next post, and for all I know the Miltonist who succeeds me at the University of Mary Washington may be just ambitious, idealistic, and nutty enough to want to keep the tradition going. Time will tell. (Yes, I will blog about my new job very soon.)<\/p>\n
The readathon will be at Alvey House from Friday, July 11 to Saturday, July 12. We’ll begin between 7 and 7:30 p.m. and read until we’re done. If the past is a guide, the event will conclude about 6:30 or 7:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. If you’d like to attend, just come when you can and leave when you want. Bring a copy of Paradise Lost<\/em> with you if you have one. If you don’t, we’ll have some extras on hand. Readers of all ages and abilities are welcome. I extend a particularly warm welcome to alumni of the University or the reading or both.<\/p>\n No reservations are necessary for the reading. If you’d like to join us for the traditional Parthenon Restaurant supper before hand, please do let me know by Thursday, July 10 at the latest.<\/p>\n I’ve given an account of the event and its history earlier on this blog<\/a>. It’s a simple and very moving event. This year, it’s also a loving farewell to my fourteen years at Mary Washington.<\/p>\n I hope you can join us.<\/p>\n View Larger Map<\/a><\/p>\n 1104 College Avenue, Fredericksburg, Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Final at UMW under my supervision, that is.
