Dickens and Victorian Psychology: Introspection, First-Person Narration, and the Mind
01:00 PM
Zoom
This month the Pickwick Club presents "Dickens and Victorian Psychology: Introspection, First-Person Narration, and the Mind", led by Associate Professor Tyson Stolte (New Mexico State University). This event will be a discussion on Victorian theories of psychology and consciousness and how it plays into Dickens writing with emphasis on Dickens' piece "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"
Tyson Stolte: "Dickens & Victorian Psychology"
01:00 PM
Zoom
'Dickens and Victorian Psychology' reads Dickens's use of 1st-person point of view as part of his efforts to defend a dualist psychology against new physiological theories of consciousness. Through a reading of 'Edwin Drood,' this talk will show how the redefinition of the shared language of Victorian mental science undercut such efforts to theorize a psychology that transcended the material.
