SUMMARY:Morgan Swan on Penny Dreadfuls
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanuary Midday Program \n \n“It is\, Sir\, as I have said\, a small college\, and yet there are those who love it.” \nDaniel Webster \nCurl up in your Zoom Room and prepare to be magically transported to that much loved small college in Hanover\, New Hampshire. \nAs Londoners became increasingly literate\, publishers met their desire for exciting (and inexpensive) content with a host of sensational soft cover serialized stories. These quickly earned the nickname Penny Dreadfuls. Unfortunately they weren’t exactly produced on high quality paper and nestled firmly between sturdy boards\, so they tended to be read to death – and then repurposed to answer a variety of household uses. \nThat’s why we’re so fortunate that Morgan Swan will be able to share examples from Dartmouth’s remarkable collection. Dr. Swan is the Special Collections Librarian for Teaching & Scholarly Engagement. He received his PhD from Yale\, his MLIS from UW-Milwaukee\, and has the dual distinctions of having grown up in Macau\, China and being a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. \nOf course\, the event is free. It won’t cost even a penny. Dreadful if you miss it. Register today! \nRegister here: https://caxtonclub.org/event-5903260 \nPreregistration required via website. Zoom presentation is free and open to all. Please forward this notice to anyone who may find it of interest. \nEven if you can’t attend at the scheduled time\, if you’re interested\, please register. After the program\, we’ll send an email to all registrants\, asking if you’d like a link to the complete recording. That way you can see the program even if you couldn’t attend live\, ran into technical issues\, or simply wanted to watch it again.

Highlights of the exhibition include William Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Won\, the lost sequel to Love’s Labour’s Lost; Ernest Hemingway’s first novel\, stolen from his wife’s bag on a French train in 1922; and the Necronomicon\, John Dee’s copy of the eldritch grimoire that has been kept sealed in a Wells Fargo strongbox\, as a precaution\, since the Krickle accident of 1967. An accompanying book will be published by Oak Knoll and Club Fortsas. \nVisit the exhibition in person Monday-Saturday\, 10am-5pm\, or online.
