Tea-table Talk

Join us for an enchanting journey into the world of conversation with Tea-table Talk, a lesser-known gem by Jerome K. Jerome. As noted by the New York Times in 1903, this work may lack the sharp wit of Congreve or the sparkle of Jeromes other writings, but it offers a delightful glimpse into the art of dialogue through imagined exchanges at an afternoon tea table. Meet a cast of intriguing characters, including the Woman of the World, the Old Maid, the Girton Girl, the Philosopher, and the Minor Poet, as they passionately discuss topics like marriage, art, society, and politics. While they often seem to relish their own monologues more than the contributions of others, their musings provide a fascinating insight into a conversation style slowly fading from our culture. As one participant laments, Conversation has become a chorus; or, as a writer wittily expressed it, the pursuit of the obvious to no conclusion. (Summary by Ruth Golding)
