The Park Bench Reader is an ongoing performance series by the artist Bram Thomas Arnold. Regular Sunday afternoons find Bram reading a classic work of English Literature to passing members of the public. In 1840 Joseph Strutt opened England's first public park, the decade went on to give voice to a whole generation of England's finest authors. The Park Bench Reader seeks to draw these two seemingly unassociated events together again and question the pace of life in a society ever racing forward.

Notes. Due to adverse weather conditions, and the gates of St. Pauls Churchyard being locked on a Sunday Volume 6 was unexpectedly suspended. The introduction to the novel was read in silence in a nearby cafe, yielding some useful information about the novels of 1848 in particular and the 1840's as a pinnacle decade in general. Blueberry muffin and a latte.
