March 10, 2010
Time:4:45-6 p.m.
Description:Tatiana Kuzmic, assistant professor in
Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies will give a talk as part of the CWGS New Faculty Colloquium series: "From Mummies to Gypsies in Middlemarch: The English Heroine, the British Empire and the Polish Insurrections."

Among her unhappily married fictional peers - such as Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina - Dorothea Brooke of "Middlemarch" stands out as a heroine who not only survives the end of the novel, but gets to enjoy a happy second marriage. Rather than discussing the novel's denouement in terms of the "Woman Question," this talk will focus on the national dimensions of the love triangle by examining it against the political backdrop of the British Reform Bills and the Polish Insurrections of the 1830s and the 1860s.
