Restoring a speculative treasure
Buy our book - The Meanderings of the Emily Chesley Reading Circle
The Emily Chesley Reading Circle is a group of “scholars” and bon-vivants pledged to further the study of Emily Chesley, a speculative fiction writer of the late Victorian period (who lived for some time in the London, Ontario region), who has been long-overlooked by Canadian literature.
Founded in 1998, we used our old website as a repository of our scholarship about the many fine works of speculative fiction written by Emily Chesley, and about her life. We have decided to rework the site, in anticipation of the coming rapture of Web 3.0.
While you wait for the delights of the new site to become fully apparent, you could always purchase a copy of The Meanderings, which includes a biography of the first half of Emily’s life, in addition to original stories and poetry by her, and the winners of our annual Tundra Prize. Newly updated pages will be noted in the sidebar to the right.
Welcome.
