Kvinderne i Dickens’ romaner
Charles Dickens is often criticized for writing stereotypical and submissive female characters, yet many of his female figures were anything but that.
In this lecture, author and art historian Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, Charles Dickens’ great-great-granddaughter, sheds new light on the often overlooked female characters in his novels. She explores women who were independent, had careers, or broke with the norms of the time regarding how a woman was expected to behave.
A fascinating look at 19th-century Great Britain and the strong women Dickens both knew and wrote about.
NB: The lecture will be held in English.
