the-moonstone-broadview (2).jpg

This exhibit will examine the correlations between character relationships within Wilkie Collins' novel, The Moonstone, drawing upon a critical article by Timothy L. Carens. It will also look at the poem, "The White Man's Burden," by Rudyard Kipling, in order to further investigate British attitudes toward the colonies. In addition, this exhibit will look at the Koh-i-Noor diamond in an excerpt from The Illustrated Exhibitor, a publication meant to guide Victorian visitors through the Great Exhibition.
