SUMMARY:Dickens Universe
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 one by Charles Dickens. In 2024\, the Dickens Universe will feature Great Expectations\, which since its publication in 1860-61\, has been one of Dickens’s best-loved and most widely read works. \nNow in its 44th 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. \nHere are some of the reasons why 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. This year’s Dickens Universe will begin on Sunday\, July 21\, and end on Saturday\, July 27. \nRegistration is now open for the 2024 Dickens Universe featuring Great Expectations. The conference will primarily be an in-person event\, with the option to attend virtually from afar. \nTo register or learn about The Dickens Universe visit: https://dickens.ucsc.edu/universe/
