Dalnavert Artifact Tie-in

Camera 2.jpg

Invention, experimentation, and new technologies were everywhere in the Victorian era, and this influenced the budding literary genre of science-fiction. Machines for image reproduction really took off, and still-image technologies like film cameras were pushed even further into the realm of moving images with cinematographs.

Dalnavert Artifact tie-in

clock 1.1.jpg

Time is a major theme in H.G. Wells’ classic story - and was a cultural obsession for the Victorians. As this clock’s timekeeping mechanism is no longer running, it acts as its own little time machine, frozen at 3:00.

Neoclassical style clock, c.1845-1850, faux marble with brass, ebonized wood.

Literature Out Loud at Dalnavert Museum is a serialized Victorian book podcast with EXTRAS! The first extra-sode is a conversation with Dr. Christopher Keep from Western University in London Ontario and me, your host, Charlene. We discuss H.G Wells, his early life and work, time travel and why super comfy chairs are important to the novel. Note: yes I know my video is not great, I have a new camera and the next will be good I promise! Tune in for this conversation and listen/watch the first 2 chapters on our YOUTUBE channel.
