Henry James Brought to Life in Rye Tent

The James brothers

For the first time in 42 years, a marquee in Lamb House Garden will host the majority of literary events at the Rye Arts Festival.

Lamb House is quite possibly the most literary house in the UK, having been the home in the last 100 years to Henry James, EF Benson (of Mapp & Lucia fame), and Rumer Godden.

It is, therefore, quite fitting that the first event will be a talk by J C Hallman, who has written a study of the letters between Henry James and his brother William in the United States, which range across philsosphy, literature, science and much more.

Tickets for this talk are still available from the Box Office - telephone 01797 224442, or go to the website for more information on this and other events at this year's Festival by clicking HERE
