SUMMARY:38th Annual Dickens Universe Conference featuring Little Dorrit
DESCRIPTION:The Dickens Universe is a unique cultural event that brings together scholars\, teachers\, students\, and members of the general public for a week of stimulating discussion and festive social activity on the beautiful Santa Cruz campus of the University of California—all focused on one or two Victorian novels\, usually (but not always) one by Charles Dickens. \nView our full event photo album on Flickr: \nIf you have trouble viewing above images\, you may view this album directly on Flickr. \n  \nIn 2018\, the Universe featured Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. Full of contrasts—light and shade\, comedy and pathos—Little Dorrit is one of the great social novels of the Victorian age. It takes as its central themes the prison of this lower world\, the vicissitudes of love in middle age and the inescapable power of money. Intricately plotted and full of Dickensian humor and sentiment\, the novel displays a broad social vision and remarkable psychological insight. \nNow in its 38th year of operation\, the Dickens Universe combines features of a scholarly conference\, a festival\, a book club\, and summer camp. Participants include people of all ages and walks of life—distinguished scholars\, graduate students\, undergraduates\, retirees\, young professionals\, high school teachers\, anyone who loves to read and who enjoys long Victorian novels. Here are some of the things that make the Universe such a special experience: \n\nThe college lifestyle: participants live on campus\, eat together in the student dining hall\, have time to meet and come to know each other in different ways.\nEveryone is reading the same book. We all have this one important thing in common.\nThe range of activities—formal lectures\, small discussion groups\, films\, daily Victorian teas\, performances\, and Victorian dancing.\n\nThe Universe offers a week of total immersion in the world of Victorian fiction with friendly\, like-minded colleagues in a beautiful setting. Whether we’re returning to a Dickens novel that everyone knows and loves\, or branching out into a Victorian novel by another author who might be less familiar\, during the Universe we build a community out of our passion for reading\, talking with one another\, and bringing Victorian culture to life. \nMore information and registration: \nGeneral Website: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/\nRegistration Link: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/universe/registration/index.html\nPhone: (831) 459-2103\nEmail: cmahaney@ucsc.edu\nVideo Link: https://youtu.be/JJgV87yGBSs
