Course Description

“Beloved and Only Child”: Charles Dickens’s Dombey and Son

Instructor: Jo Ellen Winters, MA

Teeming with life (and occasional death), the novel reveals a populous world on the edge of modernity, some clinging to the past, some willing to learn the way forward, some determined to seize the future, no matter the cost. Elated, amused, saddened, heartbroken, even angry, we witness the trail of damage that follows the relentless, icy patriarch Paul Dombey as he speeds by fiery one-eyed dragon, the railroad, to destruction. He is among the victims; only those able to feel and to love survive.

Thursdays, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
