Bloomsbury Group Presentation
January 23, 2003

Students from Carlisle High School's advanced placement course in American Literature and Composition visited the Dickinson College library to view the exhibit "Bloomsbury: Moments of Being." The exhibit explores the work of a group of artists and intellectuals who helped to forge the modernist movement in Britain at the turn of the 20th century. Taking a metaphor from Virginia Woolf's autobiographical novel To The Lighthouse (1927), a student-made lighthouse represents the way the group was able to dispel some of the "darkness" of Victorian England.

The exhibit was prepared by the Dickinson's English senior seminar class. Dickinson English majors from the class discussed the exhibit with the high school students.
