Access local literary and cultural resources , such as the Charles Dickens Collection and the Conan Doyle Collection , in Portsmouth ’ s Central Library . Study two core modules focussed on the cultural tensions between Victorian anxieties ( crime , poverty , slums , and degeneration ) and Victorian enchantment ( stage magic , spiritualism and the occult , the development of Victorian celebrity culture , the struggle of intellect to break from folkloric magic , and supernatural superstition in a ‘ modern ’ age ).
