Dickens Noir: Persistence of Victorianism in Post-War British Art & Culture (April 13 @ 7 p.m. Caltech – Dabney Lounge, 1200 E. California Blvd., Dabney – Building 40, Pasadena) The Victorian age haunted post-war Britain in different ways. It was there in the physical remains of homelessness and poverty and in the taste for nineteenth-century bric-a-brac. Most powerfully, it was there in the shadows and aesthetics of post-war British film. Drawing on a wide range of art and culture this lecture looks at the meaning of the Victorian to post-war Britain and its impact on the project of modernity and reconstruction. This event is free.
