Dear all,
Tomorrow´s session will be devoted to discussing the short ghost story "The signal-man" by Dickens.
To help contextualise its writing, it´s useful to know that "The Signal Man" was written after a railway accident which took place in 1865 that had a great impact on Dickens´s life.
On our discussion of the story think of the following:
What does the train represent?
Think of the opposition between isolation and community.
Think of the issue of social responsibility
How is modernity depicted in this ghost story?
See you in class,
Claudia
