  • Dickens After Dickens, Pp
    CHAPTER 2 Nordic Dickens: Dickensian Resonances in the Work of Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson Kathy Rees, Wolfson College, University of Cambridge On 19 March 1870, the Illustrated London News reported on the last of Charles Dickens’s farewell readings at St. James’s Hall (‘Mr. Chas Dickens’s Farewell Reading’ 301). Three weeks later, Norsk Folkeblad featured this same article, translated into Norwegian (‘Charles Dickens’s Sidste Oplaesning’ 1). At that time, the editor of Norsk Folkeblad was the 38-year-old journalist, novelist, and playwright Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. He recognised the importance of this event and, unlike his English counterpart, he made it front-page news. Bjørnson reproduced both the iconic image of the famous writer at his reading desk and the words of Dickens’s brief curtain speech wherein he bade farewell to his adoring public. Dickens’s novels and journals had long been widely read in Norway, first in German and French translations, later in Danish or Swedish. Sketches by Boz (1836) was popular because of its representation of English customs, especially among the lower classes: one of its tales, ‘Mr Minns and his Cousin’, was included on the English syllabus of Norwegian schools from as early as 1854 (Rem 413). American Notes (1842) was also much discussed on account of the rising numbers of Norwegian emigrants crossing the Atlantic.1 Written Danish and Norwegian were virtually the same language in the How to cite this book chapter: Rees, K. 2020.

CHARLES DICKENS AND THE SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS John V. Orth† N JANUARY 1842, when Charles Dickens departed for his first American tour, he was not yet thirty years old but already fa- mous on both sides of the Atlantic. Embarking with his wife Catherine and her maid Anne on the Britannia, the Cunard ILine’s first paddle-steamer, he expected a pleasant voyage with all the modern conveniences. At journey’s end, he thought, lay a mod- el republic – and relief from his pressing financial difficulties. Sales of his serialized novel, Barnaby Rudge, completed only weeks before, had been disappointing, and the novelist was in debt to his publish- ers for £3,000.1 Refusing to recognize international copyright, the United States then – like some modern developing nations now – simply appropriated foreigners’ intellectual property. Pirated edi- tions of Dickens’ novels brought pleasure to their readers and prof- its to their publishers, but nothing to their author, and the novelist was optimistic that he could make the Americans see the justice of his claim for compensation.

  • American Notes for General Circulation by Charles Dickens
    AMERICAN NOTES FOR GENERAL CIRCULATION BY CHARLES DICKENS WITH 8 ILLUSTRATIONS BY MARCUS STONE, R.A. LONDON CHAPMAN & HALL, Ltd. 1913 I DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO THOSE FRIENDS OF MINE IN AMERICA WHO, GIVING ME A WELCOME I MUST EVER GRATEFULLY AND PROUDLY REMEMBER, LEFT MY JUDGEMENT FREE; AND WHO, LOVING THEIR COUNTRY, CAN BEAR THE TRUTH, WHEN IT IS TOLD GOOD HUMOUREDLY, AND IN A KIND SPIRIT. PREFACE TO THE FIRST CHEAP EDITION OF “AMERICAN NOTES” It is nearly eight years since this book was first published. I present it, unaltered, in the Cheap Edition; and such of my opinions as it expresses, are quite unaltered too. My readers have opportunities of judging for themselves whether the influences and tendencies which I distrust in America, have any existence not in my imagination. They can examine for themselves whether there has been anything in the public career of that country during these past eight years, or whether there is anything in its present position, at home or abroad, which suggests that those influences and tendencies really do exist. As they find the fact, they will judge me. If they discern any evidences of wrong-going in any direction that I have indicated, they will acknowledge that I had reason in what I wrote. If they discern no such thing, they will consider me altogether mistaken. Prejudiced, I never have been otherwise than in favour of the United States. No visitor can ever have set foot on those shores, with a stronger faith in the Republic than I had, when I landed in America.

  • Andersen's English Workpack
    ANDERSEN’S ENGLISH WORKPACK Produced by Out of Joint 2010 page 1 Introduction Aim of Workpack The resource materials in this pack are intended to enhance students’ enjoyment and understanding of Andersen’s English. The activities are variations of the rehearsal techniques used by Max Stafford-Clark during the production, and present creative and practical strategies for learning in a classroom setting. The workpack also works alongside the workshop that Out of Joint provides for Andersen’s English, led by the Artistic Director, the Associate Director or the Education Manager. The resources are primarily aimed at students aged 16+ who are studying Drama at BTEC or A Level. The workpack is in two main sections – Researching the Play and the Rehearsal Process. Rehearsing the Play Andersen’s English explores the story behind a real meeting between Charles Dickens and Hans Christian Andersen, when the latter outstayed his welcome at Gads Hill Place in 1857. Artistic Director Max Stafford-Clark always encourages vigorous research before and during the rehearsal process, and with 9 out of the 10 characters in the play being real people, there was extensive reading on this period of history and the people themselves. This section includes an introduction into the play’s setting, as well as Dickens himself and the controversy of his personal life in his later years. Rehearsing the Play The Associate Director Jessica Swale gives is an insight into the rehearsal process with extracts from her diary over the five weeks before opening in Bury St Edmunds. Student Activities The workpack includes an introduction into Max Stafford-Clark’s rehearsal techniques such as actioning and status, as well as classroom exercises relating to the production.

MAKING IT IN AMERICA: HOW CHARLES DICKENS AND HIS CUNNING MANAGER GEORGE DOLBY MADE MILLIONS FROM A PERFORMANCE TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES, 1867-1868 by JILLIAN MARTIN Under the Direction of Leonard Teel, PhD ABSTRACT Charles Dickens embarked on a profitable journey to the United States in 1867, when he was the most famous writer in the world. He gave seventy-six public readings, in eighteen cities. Dickens and his manager, George Dolby, devised the tour to cash in on his popularity, and Dickens earned the equivalent of more than three million dollars. They created a persona of Dickens beyond the literary luminary he already was, with the help of the impresario, P.T. Barnum. Dickens became the first British celebrity to profit from paid readings in the United States.
