Iconography
A tour of the icons - real and imagined - that define our sense of a place and that are defined by that place in turn. Season 1: England, Season 2: New England
Ebenezer Scrooge (Fifth Anniversary 2nd Edition)
For Iconography’s fifth anniversary we’re remastering episodes from season one. This is a remastered 2nd edition of Iconography’s first Christmas episode, from December 2016, with a new afterward looking at the 2017 film The Man Who Invented Christmas. You can access the original episode here.
Every day of the holiday season, there is probably someone in your neighborhood watching or reading some version of A Christmas Carol. If you think about it, that means we probably see early Victorian England as often as any other time period. What has kept the story so vital? And how did a young Charles Dickens engender so much empathy for such a miserable man?
