La imagen oficial es conocida: niño pobre, padre en la cárcel de deudores, fábrica de betún, superación, gloria literaria. Y sí, todo eso es cierto.
Pero quedarse ahí es quedarse a medias.Charles Dickens fue un genio.
También fue un hombre profundamente obsesivo, controlador y, en su vida privada, capaz de una frialdad demoledora.Tras veinte años de matrimonio y diez hijos, decidió que su esposa Catherine ya no encajaba en su vida.
Se enamoró de una actriz de 18 años, Ellen Ternan, cuando él tenía 45.
Y entonces empezó la operación de borrado.Intentó convencer a un médico amigo suyo para que declarara a Catherine mentalmente inestable y poder internarla en un asilo.
El médico se negó tras examinarla.
No estaba loca.
Ante el fracaso, Dickens rompió con él y pasó al plan B: destruir su reputación.
Publicó un comunicado en prensa insinuando que su esposa era incompetente y emocionalmente inestable.
Después dividió la casa con un muro para no verla y terminó expulsándola.
Se quedó con casi todos los hijos.
Ella quedó aislada socialmente.Mientras tanto, alquilaba casas bajo nombres falsos para ocultar a Ellen.
Viajaba con ella en secreto.
Incluso en el accidente ferroviario de Staplehurst en 1865 —donde murieron diez personas— su prioridad fue ponerla a salvo antes de que llegara la prensa, para que nadie supiera que estaban juntos.Pero el control no era solo emocional.
Era estructural.Dickens era extremadamente vanidoso y neurótico con su apariencia.
Se peinaba el cabello constantemente, a veces cientos de veces al día.
Tenía espejos estratégicamente colocados en su estudio y se detenía a mitad de una frase para comprobar que cada mechón estuviera en su sitio.Su escritorio funcionaba como un ritual.
Necesitaba una hoja de papel verde perfectamente colocada —decía que ese color descansaba su vista—.
Encima, siempre los mismos objetos: dos sapos de bronce peleando con espadas, un conejo de bronce y un gran cortapapeles.
Si alguien movía un centímetro a los sapos, quedaba bloqueado.
No podía escribir.Dormía orientando la cama hacia el norte magnético porque creía que eso alineaba sus energías creativas.
Caminaba hasta 30 o 40 kilómetros de noche por los barrios más peligrosos de Londres para calmar la mente.
Visitaba la morgue de París para observar cadáveres no reclamados.
Practicaba mesmerismo con mujeres cercanas, convencido de que podía curarlas con pases magnéticos.Su obsesión por el orden era tal que entraba en habitaciones ajenas para recolocar objetos.
No soportaba un cuadro torcido ni un libro mal alineado.
Era un hombre brillante, sí.
Pero también dominado por la ansiedad y la necesidad constante de control.En su testamento dejó instrucciones estrictas: nada de funeral ostentoso, nada de circo victoriano.
Quería un entierro sencillo en Rochester. No se respetó.
Fue enterrado con honores nacionales en la Abadía de Westminster.
Tampoco dejó monumentos… y hoy tiene estatuas por todas partes.A su esposa le dejó una asignación fría.
A Ellen, una suma considerable de dinero.
A su cuñada Georgina, elogios afectuosos.
Incluso después de muerto, gestionó el relato.¿Era un monstruo? No.
Era un hombre del siglo XIX con un poder descomunal y un ego frágil.
Un creador capaz de una empatía literaria inmensa y, al mismo tiempo, de una dureza íntima brutal.El trauma de la fábrica lo hizo sensible a la pobreza.
Pero también lo convirtió en alguien que necesitaba dominar su entorno, su familia, su imagen y hasta la disposición milimétrica de dos sapos de bronce.Genio indiscutible.
Buena ficha en lo personal… bastante menos. 🖋️▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

"Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) left a prodigious mark on American glass and decorative arts during his career that spanned nearly fifty years. Although his name is most often associated with his work in the medium of glass, he studied to be a painter before beginning a career as an interior designer during the late 1870s. He also designed furniture. Tiffany’s own residence in New York featured dining room walls covered in Japanese papers, a drawing room with Moorish columns, and a fireplace with mica panels in a spider web pattern. The unusual glass-bejeweled pedestals displayed here evoke Tiffany’s love of both exoticism and glass. “The Style of Display: Victorian Pedestals” is on display pre-security in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/VictorianPedestals" This was posted to our Instagram account on August 14, 2019 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729356207/ -
"This Renaissance Revival pedestal exhibits both veneering and marquetry. A veneer consists of a very fine sheet of wood applied to the surface of furniture. Marquetry entails cutting wood veneers, in various colors and grain patterns, into decorative designs and adhering them to a piece of furniture or decorative art object. Materials such as mother-of-pearl, ivory, tortoise shell, and fine metals might also be applied. “The Style of Display: Victorian Pedestals” is on display pre-security in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/VictorianPedestals" This was posted to our Instagram account on July 03, 2019 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1763558817/

Tattered breath flows out of me
Duvet and sheet sag silently
And yet, you, still.
Reminded unforgivingly
Of the things I cannot be
And which, I will. -
And finally, a shot of all the contest winners; the Best Beard & Mustache winner and runner-up, and the third, second, and first place winners of Best Victorian Hat, and the MC.
The Chautauqua was an amazing event and I have every intention of going next year, maybe even staying the whole weekend, as it runs both Saturday and Sunday, and always the weekend after the 4th of July.

And THIS lady won the Ladies' Best Victorian Hat competition. And she won last year. It turns out she lives near me, in a community full of lovely old Victorian homes. She invited me to attend a garden tour and tea party next weekend, which I intend to do.
-
The day closed with two competitions, starting with the Men's Best Beard and Mustache contest. This young man won first place. He was a local who said he played old time fiddle; I think I saw him that the Baltimore Old Time Music Festival a few months back but am not sure. He seems a little embarrassed.

And this young lady has an epic hat. She was a contestant in the Ladies' Victorian Hat contest.

A troupe of sideshow performers, calling themselves the Black Magic Circus, also performed in the vaudeville area.

Another shot of Ms. Macklin as Zora Neale Hurston. She said the dress is genuine 1920s vintage.

My favorite presentation of the day was storyteller Diane Macklin portraying Zora Neale Hurston. I learned a lot about Zora and added some of her works to my reading list.

Three members of a Pittsburgh Model T club came down and gave folks a spin around the town in their vintage cars. I really enjoyed doing that!

And this house had been used specially as a rest for Methodist deaconesses, relaxing and taking a break from their duties.

This house had been The Elberon, a boarding house used by those staying at the resort.

Mountain Lake Park, MD, started as a Methodist resort community, with rental cottages, boarding houses, a permanent Chautauqua setup, a huge assembly hall, and other amenities. You had to sign a pledge to not smoke, drink, gamble, and other things to own property there.
All that has fallen by the wayside, the assembly hall was demolished years ago, and anyone can purchase a house there. But many of the original buildings are extant, with signs indicating their original usage. This building had been the social hall for the community.
The B&O railroad tracks run right by the community. On "the other side of the tracks" was another community, Loch Lynn, that allowed all the things Mountain Lake Park forbade. There was a local rhyme that want...
If you want to sin,
Go to Loch Lynn.
For Jesus' sake,
Go to Mountain Lake. -
This fellow came with his high-wheeler, and demonstrated how to ride it.

A shot of the festival grounds. I loved the lady in the bathing suit. And I saw the lady in the green dress and thought she had a nice costume...then I realized she was a Mennonite and that was her regular outfit.

Of course Queen Victoria has a lot to answer for, she married her cousin. -
Engineering erotica! There’s something very rhythmic and soothing about Victorian water pumping equipment! Lubricate your mind 😅

Woman in an Armchair (1897-98) by Gustav Klimt (Austrian artist, lived 1862–1918). Symbolism. Richly swathed in a matching red dress and hat, deep green belt. Serenity and pallor in her face, two ghostly outlined heads (upper left).
