During the bicentenarial year of the birth of Charles Dickens (7th February 1812), the University of Warwick is celebrating the life and works of one of the greatest authors to ever put pen to paper. Experts from the University and beyond explore the genius of Dickens across different aspects of his experiences, knowledge, philanthropy, character-rich novels and the Victorian era, in which he lived.

Video and audio interviews with leading academics plus readings of extracts of his work pay homage to the way the great man has stood the test of time and continue to have a huge influence on today’s authors, filmmakers, artists and academics.
