Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival

The Charleston Library Society joined forces with the legendary Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, England—which has hosted a popular literary festival for nearly three decades—for this first-time event. During the weekend’s programs, authors and thinkers from around the world speak on topics ranging from “Divided We Stand: The Battle Over Women’s Rights” to “Reimagining Shakespeare,” in which Jeanette Winterson discusses her novel The Gap of Time (right), a “cover” of The Bard’s The Winter’s Tale. Locations, times, & prices vary. (843) 723-9912, www.charlestontocharleston.com
