Happy 200th Birthday Charles Dickens. Celebrating Dickens provides an academic insight into the novels, life and times of Charles Dickens, one of the greatest ever storytellers.

Award-winning screen-play writer Andrew Davies, who adapted both Bleak House and Little Dorrit for the BBC, contributes with an exclusive insight into how one goes about transferring Dickens’ illustrative text into compelling television.

Led by Professor Jon Mee, from the University of Warwick’s English and Comparative Literary Studies Department, the App offers a plethora of podcasts, articles and videos exploring aspects of Victorian Britain, Charles Dickens’ novels and adaptations of his works.
