Victorian Book Club
The Mansion is hosting a Victorian Literature Book Club.
The Yellow Wallpaper
by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Our next Victorian literature selection is shorter than most, but filled with social significance. Gilman’s 1892 short story gives us a glimpse into women’s history, the history of mental illness, and the history of nineteenth-century medicine.
Sunday, November 10 at 3 p.m. Refreshments will be served! Seating limited, make reservations here.
The Pickwick Papers
by Charles Dickens
Join our Victorian Book Club as we explore Charles Dickens’ first novel, The Pickwick Papers. Noted literary scholar Michael Winship returns to Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion to lead this discussion of “clubbable men” in London just before teenage Victoria acceded to the throne. What better way to spend the deep winter than reading a great Dickens novel? Then come to the mansion for a cozy discussion.
Sunday, January 5 at 3 PM
Cost: $10. Reservations are required and can be made Online Here.
