Introduction Forum - The Winston Graham & Poldark Literary Society

Thanks for letting me join

Searching on the internet one evening this week, I found you! I inherited a love of Winston Graham, Poldark and Cornwall from my dad, so as soon as I discovered this forum I joined up. I very much look forward to chatting with you about all of the above. Best wishes, Emma

Another newcomer here, currently from Leicester in the UK.Thrilled to be joining this forum, and a bit nervous too - as it is the first discussion board I've ever been part of. I think I have come across this forum even before I started reading the Poldark books, so it feels like I have known you for qui...

Hello from Australia. I got engrossed in the recent TV series but - unlike many other viewers - I found Ross Poldark's character to be at some distance from the "romantic hero" sort of idea which many reviewers and fans were seeing, so I decided to read the books. I'll be finishing the 12th book in a coupl...

Just a few lines to introduce myself. I have been a Poldark fan for many years, both book and tv (although not so much the more recent episodes ). I have read the books more times than I can remember and still enjoy browsing through them and occasionally treating myself to a complete re-read of the whole s...

Hello! I'm so glad to finally join this group. My name is Michele AKA poldarkmmmuses on Tumblr and @mmmusings on Twitter. I'm a MASSIVE fan of the books and the show, enjoy writing fan fiction, and am one of the hosts of a podcast about Poldark call, surprisingly, Poldark Podcast with two lovely ladies...

Hello! I have been a fan of Poldark, for many years. I enjoy the series but my heart lies with the books. I look forward to joining in with some of the many discussions I see here.

I am looking forward to contributing to the lively discussions across the range of the Poldark novels with some input relating to the TV series. My main focus will be on the books, initially the seven describing the period from1783 to 1800. For those of you who don't know the Yorkshire coast, there are...

I am obviously new to the society and appreciate the opportunity to discuss Poldark with the group. Here is what I wrote when I signed on: I am 73 and been happily married to the same women for 51 years. I am a romantic and found Winston Grahams Poldark compelling. After seeing the two seasons on PBS, I bou...

Hello, I'm Michelle. I live near Los Angeles on a farm. I joined this forum because I love the Poldark saga! In my opinion I like more the Poldark books than the BBC serie. Thanks for accepting me on the forum! -- Edited by ModernPoldark on Monday 31st of October 2016 09:34:31 PM

I've been visiting the site for a while so decided to join. I read the early Poldark books in my teens and loved the characters and setting. Meeting the new TV incarnations has spurred me to start reading the books again from the beginning. I've enjoyed becoming re-acquainted with the originals.

Hello friends, I am from Madison, Wisconsin and have just located your site. There is a bond here that I recognize and am pleased to have found this society. I have read all but 3 of the Poldark novels, watch the new series and have found them engaging and enlightening from multiple perspectives. I es...

I love Poldark. WG was an excellent writer!

Hello! When I started reading the series, I was very anxious to discuss with others, but it has taken me some time to find this forum. In the meantime, I joined (and now moderate) a group on Goodreads: Poldark Saga - Winston Graham(https://www.goodreads.com/group/173707-poldark-saga---winsto...

Well I am hooked. I watched the Poldark Episodes on our local PBS and made my husband run out to get the books. Barnes and Noble only had three in store so he bought those and today I bought the 4th book ( I think ) in the series. Is it Warlaggen? I am getting conflicting information as to what books come after...

Hello from Canada! I am new to everything Poldark save for binge watching the entire 8 episodes of Season 1 in 2 days.

Hello. I live in Winnipeg, Canada. A few months ago I became aware that a new Poldark TV series would soon be airing here on Masterpiece Theatre.

Hello, I started reading Winston Graham after the original Poldark television production aired in the UK. I began with the Poldark series and then moved on to his other works.

Hi everyone, I first became a fan of Poldark at 12 years old when seeing the re-runs on UK Gold in 2001/2002. My Mum had been an original fan in the 70's and persuaded me to watch them and I've loved it ever since. After that I read all the books including Making Poldark and learnt the entire script of the sho...

I joined this forum this past weekend and want to say "hello!" and introduce myself. I'm a literary scholar and retired college teacher; one of my areas is the 18th century and I fell in love with Graham's Poldark novels about 4 or more years ago. Since then I've read the 12 Poldark novels and...

I have just finished reading the 12 Poldark novels.

I received my copy of Making Poldark today, so I inte...

Hi, I am brand new to the forum. I've recently started rewatching the Poldark series on Netflix after having seen them when they originally aired on Masterpiece. Through the years I've heard that Mr. Cooke actually despised the Poldark series, but have never learned as to why he felt that way. Does...

Good Day All, I'm new here, but thought that I might write a few lines to introduce myself. I was 15 years old when I first fell for Poldark, in 1975 when the TV show was aired. I missed the first episode, but caught the second one, and was hooked on the program never missing any of the first and second season...

Hi All, My first time here - I'm Bronwyn (but most people call me Bron or Bronny) in Adelaide, South Australia. Poldark has always been my favourite book series and tv series. It was first aired here back in 1979 when I was quite young and I fell in love with it immediately and starting reading the books so...

I stumbled across this site when I was searching for a possible new series of Poldark. I had an evening job when the original Poldark series' were shown, so I missed all of those and it has only been within the last couple of years that I've read the books. I'm now watching the DVDs and wondering what's goi...

I can't believe I missed Poldark for more than 30 years. When Installment 16 of the video ended I felt that I had lost these wonderful interesting people in my life that I had just discovered, but I am now looking forward to collecting and reading the books. I am delighted to find this website with all t...

Hello everyone, This seems like a friendly site with friendly members so I've joined to share my love of Poldark and WG. I'm up to The Four Swans and have completely fallen in love with his novels as well as Ross slightly

I first met the Poldarks when the Series II aired on PBS here in the States. I think I read the first 7 books next, and then was able to see parts of Series I. Recently I noticed that Series I was available on Netflix and watched the whole thing in about a week. It truly has aged well (though I now have a new ap...

Hello All, Thank you for this forum! I was initiated into the world of Poldark only this month--until then I'd never heard of it, despite having been an anglophile and BBC fan for most of my 46 years. An acquaintance suggested the BBC series, and Robin Ellis hadn't uttered more than three lines before...

This time from the far north (well, Stockton on Tees actually, but probably far north to Cornwall folks!) Poldark is my favourite fiction by far. I'm usually re-reading one or other of the novels - I'm just about to start 'The Black Moon' for the umpteenth time . . Just thought I'd drop in and say hello a...

Hello All I belong to be a new member - living in the very area much trudged by Ross, Demelza and all the others. Have never seen the series on TV, but am an avid fan of all the books, read many many times. I cannot tell you how let down I am that Mrs Gimlett never appears in the series - after all I was there in...

Greetings, my first post here to introduce myself as yet another newbie who's recently discovered Winston Graham, Poldark and, now, this web site. When the Poldark series were being shown on BBC, I was too busy with serious illness in the family to sit down and watch TV. My parents loved it and so I hear...

Hello. Introducing myself. I will be 74 next week and am ashamed to say that I had never heard of Poldark or Winston Graham and I always considered myself a well-read person! How did it happen that I was so clueless? Oh well, I am deep into Poldark now. I am watching the episodes on You Tube and can hardly...

longtime poldark fan. first saw the poldark series on masterpiece theater on pbs i guess late 70's and then later rerun 'round 83-84 on something called international playbill. taped many of those on vhs (season one 7-16, season two 1-11). read the books that were available at the time probably thro...

HI! I've been a Poldark fan from 1975 when the show was shown here in the U.S. on Masterpiece Theatre. I have always loved both series. I have read books 1-7 multiple times, and I am always find something new whether its a description or a clearer understanding. I have also read 8-12 and wish (...

I'm a musician,writer/ film maker, presently working in Australia. I admire the work of Winston Graham very much and was very fond of him;in fact he was very kind to me earlier in my career. He was a lovely lovely man. I look forward to participating in the forum.

Hello fellow Poldark fanatics. Both my wife and I love Poldark after falling in love with the TV series in '70's I bought the full set in Paperback for my wife and later the Video's. We have recently been watching Poldark re-runs on a Documentary Channel called 'Yesterday' Although we have been marri...

Hi All, I'm new here, I'm a huge fan of the Poldark books. Ive read all 12 novels and I found them so involving and romantic. I was really swept away by them! I love classic books and historical novels. I'll look forward to chatting on here about the different characters in Poldark.

I would like to introduce myself to the Forum. My name is Bella. I first read Poldark in the early 70's and have read all the novels about four times. About 12 years ago I visited the Poldark Mine during a holiday to Cornwall, and simply being in that part of the world was a dream come true. I had no idea Win...

Just wanted to say thank you to whoever got my account straightened out, the link that was sent to me both times I could never get to work, so thanks again!

Hi everyone! I'm Bruce from Kentucky. I remember the original series from the first time it was shown on PBS in the 70's when I was living in Virginia, and have been a fan since. I've been looking for the complete series for a couple of years now, it's been a little difficult finding anything close in NTS...

I just thought I should say a quick hello before I start posting. Basically I discovered Poldark through my hobby of old archive British TV from the 70's and 80's. I particularly liked those old British dramas where it's played out like a theatre and you follow the story and characters for weeks. Th...

Whilst I was tracking down the 'Making Poldark' Book by Robin Ellis on the internet, I came across this site and was amazed there are so many people who also loved these books enough to form a society. I received my copy of Making Poldark today, so I inte...

	Alistair Cooke and Poldark (Preview)	graciela	2	4673	Jun 26 9:40 PM, 2011 by Ross Poldark
	Hi, I am brand new to the forum. I've recently started rewatching the Poldark series on Netflix after having seen them when they originally aired on Masterpiece. Through the years I've heard that Mr. Cooke actually despised the Poldark series, but have never learned as to why he felt that way. Does...

	Good Day All, I'm new here, but thought that I might write a few lines to introduce myself. I was 15 years old when I first fell for Poldark, in 1975 when the TV show was aired. I missed the first episode, but caught the second one, and was hooked on the program never missing any of the first and second season...

	I stumbled across this site when I was searching for a possible new series of Poldark. I had an evening job when the original Poldark series' were shown, so I missed all of those and it has only been within the last couple of years that I've read the books.

	I first met the Poldarks when the Series II aired on PBS here in the States. I think I read the first 7 books next, and then was able to see parts of Series I. Recently I noticed that Series I was available on Netflix and watched the whole thing in about a week. It truly has aged well (though I now have a new ap...

	Hello All, Thank you for this forum! I was initiated into the world of Poldark only this month--until then I'd never heard of it, despite having been an anglophile and BBC fan for most of my 46 years. An acquaintance suggested the BBC series, and Robin Ellis hadn't uttered more than three lines before...

	This time from the far north (well, Stockton on Tees actually, but probably far north to Cornwall folks!) Poldark is my favourite fiction by far. I'm usually re-reading one or other of the novels - I'm just about to start 'The Black Moon' for the umpteenth time . . Just thought I'd drop in and say hello a...

	Hello. Introducing myself. I will be 74 next week and am ashamed to say that I had never heard of Poldark or Winston Graham and I always considered myself a well-read person!

	I just thought I should say a quick hello before I start posting. Basically I discovered Poldark through my hobby of old archive British TV from the 70's and 80's. I particularly liked those old British dramas where it's played out like a theatre and you follow the story and characters for weeks. Th...
