What Madeleine L'Engle Taught Me

The New York City Chapter of the Historical Novel Society presents What Madeleine L'Engle Taught Me: Building a Literary Community, recorded on October 20, 2025. Stephanie Cowell and Kathrine Kirkpatrick, two former students of the great writer reflect on her influence on their writing, their 36 years of friendship, and building a literary community. They also read from their just-published novels: Stephanie’s The Man in the Stone Cottage about the three Brontë sisters and a mysterious shepherd on the moors, and Katherine’s To Chase the Glowing Hours about the discovery of King Tut’s tomb. They also took questions from the audience. A fascinating program for our writers and readers alike. Thank you and enjoy the program.
