The ‘Solitude and Modernity’ colloquium was co-sponsored by ‘Diseases of Modern Life’ (Oxford) and ‘Pathologies of Solitude’ (Queen Mary University of London). This collaboration resulted in a one-day programme which brought together researchers working on solitude and loneliness, in literature and society, from the nineteenth century to the present. Following literary and historical sessions on the Victorian City and Modern Britain, the event concluded with a discussion on enforced solitude, from the perspectives of first-hand experience of incarceration and forensic psychotherapy.
This talk by Dr Sarah Green, entitled 'JM Barrie and the Solitary Young Man' is from the first panel, Alone in the Victorian City.
