About this Event
Join the Dickens Project for our Spring Friends Faculty Fellow Series. This quarter we are joined by Nora Gilbert, associate professor of English at the University of North Texas, who will be giving an overview of an essay collection that she's currently co-editing with Diana Bellonby and Tara MacDonald called Victorian Gaslighting: Genealogy of an Injustice, that traces the genealogy of gaslighting back to its Victorian roots. During the second session, we will have an in-depth discussion of 1944 film Gaslight and its relationship to Victorian gaslighting.
