Readings at Rockwell | The Jazz Age Novel: Edith Wharton’s Glimpses of the Moon
A collaboration with the Norman Rockwell Museum!
The Mount is partnering with the Norman Rockwell Museum to present three staged readings in the spirit of Wharton on Wednesday. This exciting series, Readings at Rockwell | The Jazz Age Novel, was organized in tandem with Jazz Age Illustration, a major exhibition exploring the art of popular illustration of the 1920s and 1930s. The Jazz Age Novel series will explore the work of three authors who critically examine the enormous cultural shifts that took place in America in the 1920s, including: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby (1925) on the 100th anniversary of its publication; Edith Wharton’s Glimpses of the Moon (1922) chronicling the lives of American expatriates in Europe; and Nella Larsen’s Passing (1929) delving into the complexity of racial identity during the Harlem Renaissance.
Each program will begin with a short talk about the author and the featured novel, followed by a dramatic reading of select passages by an actor or actors.
