Dickens Society
Description
The purpose of the Dickens Society is to conduct, further, and support research, publication, instruction, and general interest in the life, times, and literature of Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870). Victorian author, editor, journalist social campaigner, traveler, actor, and entrepreneur, Charles Dickens remains a world-famous name in the 21st century. His fifteen novels and other literary works have been translated into hundreds of global languages and adapted countless times for stage, television, and screen. At first referred to by his early pen name “Boz,” (used for Sketches by Boz (1836) published in various newspapers), and later known as “The Inimitable,” young Dickens was launched into international celebrity by the runaway success of his first novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (serialized 1836-37) and exerted a major cultural impact in Great Britain and wherever his works were read or translated for the remainder of his highly active career.
