Dickens 2012
Dickens 2012 is a celebration of the life and work of Charles Dickens to mark the bicentenary of his birth, which falls on 7 February 2012.
Although a writer from the Victorian era, Dickens’s work transcends his time, language and culture. He remains a massive contemporary influence throughout the world and his writings continue to inspire film, TV, art, literature, artists and academia.
