The Sense of Self in 19th century literature - a discussion series led by Kghia Gherardi
Tuesdays, once a month, 6-7pm
As exploration, industrialization and colonization expanded during the nineteenth century, the way the individual viewed his and her role within this world also altered. This literature series will look at how the individual defines himself or herself, how societies react to these changes, and how the evolving sense of self succeeds and fails.
This month we discuss Walt Whitman's engimatic and beautiful work, in the original edition just as it burst upon an astonished world. The edition may be read online at
