SUMMARY:London & SE Meeting: Conjuring in Cranford
DESCRIPTION:Who were the potential models for Signor Brunoni? Could Dickens (who performed as “The Unparalleled Necromancer Rhia Rhama Rhoos”) have been one of them? What kind of text did Miss Pole use to research how the magic tricks are done? \nChristopher Pittard’s forthcoming book\, Literary Illusions\, explores the dialogue between Victorian literature and one of the nineteenth century’s most popular modes of performance: conjuring. \nChristopher is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at the University of Portsmouth. His main research focus is on the popular culture of the nineteenth century\, especially the emergence of popular genres in the Victorian fin de siecle and detective fiction in particular. \nThe meeting will take place at Francis Holland School\, 39 Graham Terrace\, London SW1W 8JF. Doors open at 12.45 – do bring a packed lunch to eat before the talk starts at 2.00 pm. Tea and coffee will be available afterwards and contributions of cake\, etc\, to go with these are very welcome! \nAll are welcome\, both members and non-members. We ask for a £6 donation to cover our expenses.
