Elizabeth von Arnim: Men, Women, and Dogs Course, 2025

Live online course, 29 October to 10 December 2025

This course will look at Elizabeth von Arnim’s prescient and often hilarious observations about the joys and pitfalls of female emancipation, the failings of toxic masculinity, the funny and the dangerous sides of marriage and the liberating effects of embracing old age. 

And there will be dogs because in von Arnim's words, ‘though parents, husbands, children, lovers and friends are all very well, they are not dogs’. On this, as on many other things, von Arnim was undoubtedly right.
