At once a repository of cultural treasures as well as the redoubt of both backward (but alluring) religion and Mediterranean passion, Italy, for the Victorians, was simultaneously pagan, papist, and cosmopolitan. This talk will explore the dynamics of this Victorian form of \u201coccidentalism,\u201d with special attention to pivotal literary figures such as the Brownings and George Eliot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Tardif, University of St. Michael\u2019s College<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"spay_email":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[53,20,25],"tribe_events_cat":[18],"class_list":["post-448","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tag-19th-century","tag-italy","tag-literature","tribe_events_cat-toronto-chapter","cat_toronto-chapter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":496,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/448\/revisions\/496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
