You will be put in touch with a reader of historical fiction through Manchester Central Library's Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/manchesterlibraries)
You must interview the reader about their engagement, enjoyment and understanding of historical fiction. You must write a 500 word report about your interview incorporating some theoretical discussion of reception theory.
You will need to post your report on the blog by 29 October:
