The Dickens Universe will pair DAVID COPPERFIELD with the most famous 19th-century African American novels, Frances E. W. Harper’s IOLA LEROY OR, SHADOWS UPLIFTED. Reflections on how personal histories play out through and against the mysteries and brutalities of history; confrontations with the claims of familial and community loyalties, as these come to be fractured, exposed, and reconfigured.
Dates: Sunday, 24 July 2022 - Monday, 25 July 2022 - Tuesday, 26 July 2022 - Wednesday, 27 July 2022 - Thursday, 28 July 2022 - Friday, 29 July 2022 - Saturday, 30 July 2022
