On The Page: How are writers addressing the environmental challenges of our time?

14 October 2005, The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival, Cheltenham Town Hall

The Arts & Ecology programme was present at this year's literature festival with a panel discussion surrounding the issues. The event was chaired by the poet Ruth Padel, author of Tigers in Red Weather: with Mark Lynas, author of High Tide: news from a warming world; Ian Jack, writer, broadcaster and editor of Granta, and Richard Kerridge, writer, academic and author of a collection of essays on writing and the environment from Bath Spa University College.

This event was programmed with the RSA/ Arts Council England & The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival

Also of interest may be the lecture held on 10 October between Richard Mabey described by The Times as "Britain's greatest living nature writer" and Richard Kerridge founding chair of the UK branch for the Study of Literature and The Environment".
