I am fairly certain I registered to attend this Beckett seminar in Reading on October 26th but I have no record of this. At previous Beckett seminars at Reading I’ve been in touch with James Knowlson about viewing the archive and am hoping to take that conversation forward if he is also attending the Oct 26th meeting.
I would be grateful if you could let me know if I am registered for the meeting – I very much hope so.
With best wishes – Liz
