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. |
