THE TIME MACHINE:
PROGRESS AND CHANGE IN LATE VICTORIAN ENGLAND 1880-1900
This
was a time of great change and progress at the end of the century,
leading into new ways of thought, progressive ideas and action,
energy, optimism and innovation. There was also stagnation and
pessimism, overcrowding and illness. The wealthy were very rich and
the poor lived in abject poverty.
PROGRESS AND CHANGE IN LATE VICTORIAN ENGLAND 1880-1900
The
Victorian age was a time of contrasts and contradictions. On the one
hand, piety, prudery, stiffness and hypocrisy; on the other, free
thinking, high living immorality. In-between was the ordinary,
hard-working, fun-loving, Victorian, who wanted to enjoy all that was
on offer in this fast-moving world which included the cinema and the
motor-car. Lots of books, journals and newspapers enlightened a new
readership, especially those who benefited from a higher standard of
schooling and being able to read. The Daily Mail
was first published in 1896 and changed the pattern of journalism.
Now, even the working-class home could take a daily newspaper and
keep abroad of the news, as well as being entertained. Three years
after it was first published the Daily Mail
had a circulation of more than half a million.
We
study work, domestic life, architecture, technology, leisure and the
arts, literature and painting, and advances in medicine and the
legacy of men such as Joseph Lister and his work on anaesthesia which
changed surgical treatments, allowing more people to survive after an
operation. See how hospitals functioned and the long working day of
the nurse and doctor. People could still go to prison for minor
offences and life inside was bleak, especially difficult for women.
Illustrated
with slides, books, extracts from period texts, prints, paintings and
video clips.
Classes
are friendly and experienced adult education tutor supportive.

BRIGHTON AND BRITAIN IN THE INTERWAR YEARS: 1920s & 1930s
“Live
for today” - we study how life changed in a seaside town and the
rest of Britain after WWI. There was decline but cultural life took
on a new aspect reflected in architecture, design, fashion, music,
literature and distinctive style of Art Deco, plus Shoreham's
fun-loving 1920s “Bungalow Town” and the cinema industry.
Although there was much poverty 'thirties Brighton saw a new
prosperity for residents and increase in day
trippers, but also notorious razor gangs and racy image.

THE NOVEL AS SOCIAL HISTORY 2: Edwardian and WWI
We study the social and cultural history of the novel by exploring the background information we are absorbing unwittingly and which is not the main theme, but which gives us a deeper and clearer understanding of period and of everyday life.
This term, we look at novels from the Edwardian period (1900-1914) e.g., “Kipps” (1905) by H.G. Wells (humorous novel which includes unwitting testimony on class and etiquette), and those about ordinary people and their lives during the turbulent period of WWI - “William – an Englishman” (1918) by Cicely Hamilton ('Futility of war, “encountered by Mr & Mrs Everyman”').

LOOKING AT VICTORIAN ART - PAINTINGS AS SOCIAL HISTORY
.jpg)
Victorian
paintings tell us much more than the main picture. They are full of
symbolism and meaning, and reveal other features we hardly notice –
as well as tiny figures and scenes around the principal subject which
we almost miss. Massive social, economic and cultural changes took
place which painters wanted to portray to the public but, as they did
so, they were also exposing much more – inner turmoil of an
emigrating couple; pain of parting; long engagements; nobility of
work.

We study social and cultural history within novels and films of the post-WWI period. There was a great wealth of literature, written in a new and modern style, and many (now mostly unknown) fascinating films of this period which provide us with
unwitting testimony of how people lived, worked and spent their leisure.

We
look at early origins, winter solstice and pagan rituals of Roman
times, as well as the symbolism of evergreens and cereals, such as
holly, ivy, mistletoe, rosemary, wheat, fir and bay, and significance
of
fire and flame. We also discover who Saint Nicholas was and the
origins of Father Christmas and Santa Claus, and find out how
traditions came about, such as why sixpence is put into the pudding,
the reason candles are lit, why children put up a stocking, and why
plum pudding is eaten at Christmas.
We
follow entertainments and customs of Tudor & Elizabethan
Christmases when festivities were on a Grand Scale, with much
feasting and public display; Georgian Christmases which were
much
quieter and more sedate, although there were also balls
and parties;
and how the Victorians and Dickens ‘invented’ the commercial
Christmas -
we look at it in all its glory and discuss the
confections, cards, decorations, games
and crackers. Finally, a look
at Twentieth century Christmas
celebrations and how
the Festive season was spent from the early
century through to the Fifties, including austerities of wartime
which brought about much ingenuity.

feast of festive fun to brighten your day with a friendly group and

THE EDWARDIANS - A GOLDEN AGE 1900-1914
TV dramas ‘Downton Abbey’ and ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ have re-awakened interest in the Edwardian era's huge contrasts of wealth and poverty. The summer season’s giddy whirl for women of fashion was in sharp contrast to poor mothers trying hard to keep a decent home and family fed. Selfridges, founded 1909, invented the idea of shopping as a leisure activity. End-of-century dark, heavy style of architecture, furnishings and fashion was changing to a lighter uncluttered look, including Art Nouveau.

We study the social and cultural history of the novel by exploring the background information we are absorbing unwittingly and which is not the main theme, but which gives us a deeper and clearer understanding of period and of everyday life. This term, we look at a wonderful wealth of reading from the inter-war years 1918-39, e.g. the humorous 'Lucia' novels of E.F. Benson which reveal 1920s social competitiveness on an epic and silly scale; or Patrick Hamilton's fabulous 1935 trilogy,“Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky”, whose seedy setting and characters vividly evoke a bygone era. There is also E.M. Delafield's “Consequences (1919), Evelyn Waugh's “Scoop” (1930), Winifred Holtby's “South Riding” (1936).

ART DECO AND MODERNISM
After
WWI a new, distinctive style emerged. Architectural buildings of
every type were developed in this style which was influenced
by Ancient Egyptian, Greek and neo-classical forms. Art Deco was
also described as "jazzy", and it utilised modern
technology and innovations, such as plastic, chrome, aluminium and
electricity. The smooth lines
and geometric patterns were found in everything: art, fashion,
furniture, light fittings, ornaments, glass, ceramics and jewellery.
Its iconic elegance furnished homes in a new, exciting fashion

READING BOOKS AND WATCHING FILMS 2: THE POST-WAR YEARS 1945-1965
We further study social and cultural history within novels and films; this time, post-WWII. A modern, open and 'realistic' style of novel and a fascinating phase of 'New Wave' filmmaking described as 'gritty realism' or 'angry young men', portraying ordinary people and relationships provide us with unwitting testimony of life, love, work and leisure.

ART DECO AND THE 'MODERNE' 1920-1939
We
study the iconic and distinctive style that emerged, 1920s/30s. It
reflected decadent, post-WWI society. The smooth ‘Modernist’
style, based on classical and other influences, including the
Egyptian; dominated all aspects of domestic and cultural life and was
notable for its architecture and design. It utilized modern
technology, materials, and electrical devices. It was also reflected
in cinema and elegant fashion. We look at the period, social &
cultural life and changes in work and living for all classes.

THE GOLDEN AFTERNOON: INTRODUCING THE EDWARDIANS 1900-1914
The
short 'Golden Age' before 'the black pit of war' (as J.B. Priestley
described it) that was to change the idyll of elegant living for the
wealthy socialising on a grand scale, but also a tarnished age for
the poor living in slums. We
compare domestic, social and cultural life, including how paintings
and literature depicted society. Selfridge's
was founded in 1909 and invented the idea of shopping as a leisure
time activity.

NOVELS AND FILMS OF THE INTER-WAR YEARS 1918-1939
We
study the social and cultural history within the pages of novels and
extracts of films of the post-WWI period, by viewing
many books and film clips. There
was a great wealth of literature, written in a new and modern style,
and many fascinating films of this period which
provide us with unwitting testimony of how people lived, worked,
spent their leisure, how they formed relationships and dealt with
various situations.. We can
also see how fashion and etiquette changed and how the effects of
World War One and other influences had changed people's perceptions
and inspired them with aspirations for a better life.

WOMEN IN WARTIME: HOMEFRONT WWI & WWII
We
see how women coped admirably in both World War One and Two and how
it changed their lives. From being housewives and mothers they became
independent women working as well as looking after their homes. Daily
life was turned upside-down, but the fighting spirit shone through!
We look at many aspects of life on the home front – rationing,
shelters, factory workers, “make do and mend”. Also
included are readings from the diaries of women during both World
Wars.
