SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: A Charles Dickens Christmas with Bill Thierfelder
DESCRIPTION:Charles Dickens has famously been called “The Man Who Invented Christmas.” Inspired by the writings of Washington Irving earlier in the 19th century\, Dickens wrote five Christmas novellas between 1843 and 1848 and over a dozen short stories between 1852 and 1866. Each of these–including the perennial favorite A Christmas Carrol–helped to shape how the holiday season is celebrated in Britain and America. This program explores these wonderful flights of holiday fantasy and their lasting influence. \nThis program is offered in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library\, the Groton Public Library\, and the Natick Historical Society. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Bill Thierfelder is a retired professor of arts and humanities\, with a PhD in English literature\, an MA in theology\, and a BA in English with additional concentrations in music history and art. After teaching second grade for four years and high school seniors for six months as a replacement substitute\, Bill spent the next 32 years teaching a variety of arts and humanities courses at several New York and Long Island universities and colleges\, including St. John’s University\, Hofstra University\, and Dowling College. \nBill is currently docent emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History where he continues to give both Zoom and in-person presentations\, work on special editing projects\, and give tours. He also lectures regularly for libraries and educational organizations nationwide via Zoom. Bill’s classroom\, library\, and museum vocations have taught him that life is all about “making wings\,” hence\, the name of his website: Making Wings. Indeed\, Bill’s philosophy–rooted in years of practical study and life experience–is simple: “The most important thing you can do is to make wings for yourself and fly to places that fulfill your potential\, that allow you to develop your unique gifts\, and that open you up to a world of possibilities.” \n  \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.
