Thursday, December 2nd at 6:30 pm
The master/servant relationship is a popular subject matter in films such as Remains of the Day and Gosford Park. Additionally, PBS has produced wildly successful TV series such as Upstairs, Downstairs, Manor House and, of course, Downton Abbey. Join Ann McClellan as we explore the history behind the rise and fall of British servants and why Americans are so fascinated by their stories on page and screen.
McClellan is a professor of English and the Interim Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Plymouth State University where she teaches 19th and 20th century British literature. She is the author of How British Women Writers Transformed the Campus Novel, and Sherlock’s World: Fanfiction and the Reimagining of BBC’s Sherlock, as well as, numerous articles on cultural topics.

While researching her books, films, and articles, Sy has been chased by an angry silver back gorilla in Africa, hunted by a tiger in India, swum with piranhas, electric eels and dolphins in the Amazon, and learned to SCUBA dive in order to commune with octopuses. Montgomery is the author of over thirty books for children and adults including: How to be a Good Creature, The Good Good Pig, The Hummingbirds’ Gift, Chasing Cheetahs, Inky's Amazing Escape and The Soul of an Octopus. She has a unique perspective in her interaction with animals, both wild and domestic, which includes observation, respect, and communication.The program is free and open to the public, but advance registration is necessary as space is limited. Please note that all attendees must follow the SAU 21 COVID requirements by observing social distancing and wearing a mask while in the school building.
