About this Talk
This masterclass is inspired by the claim of the prolific Victorian novelist, Anthony Trollope, that "... three hours a day will produce as much as a man [or woman] ought to write."
Trollope argued that none of his famous contemporaries (George Eliot, Henry James and others) wrote for more than three hours a day. My talk will discuss what this claim, if we take it seriously, might suggest about writing time, our busy lives, sleep, and distraction.
