  • Broadstairs Dickens Fellowship Newsletter March 2021
    BROADSTAIRS DICKENS FELLOWSHIP NEWSLETTER MARCH 2021 NSPCC/DICKENS FELLOWSHIP BROADSTAIRS We are delighted to announce that the reading of A Christmas Carol performed by the Dickens Declaimers from Broadstairs raised a total of £1400 for the NSPCC over the Christmas period. The NSPCC have issued this certificate and we, like the charity, are delighted with the result. A big thank you to everyone out there who donated. It’s much appreciated. The Mystery of Charles Dickens by A.N. Wilson Published by Atlantic Books (Paperback edition out in June 2021, £9.99) BOOK REVIEWS A.N.Wilson asserts that Dickens “was a man of masks, who probably never revealed himself to anyone; quite conceivably, he did not reveal himself to himself.” So he undertakes to find the hidden mysteries behind these masks, the events in his life that have formed the man and the writer. One such which was unacknowledged by Dickens at the time (though well-known to us nowadays) was his childhood work at Warren’s Blacking Factory after his fantasist father had been condemned to the Marshalsea for debt. This dreadful experience of abandonment and poverty marked him for life and appeared in his novels in the guise of David Copperfield and Oliver Twist. He blamed his mother more than his father, channelling her into so many of his foolish women characters, whereas his feckless father becomes the affectionate and resilient Micawber. This flawed relationship with his mother probably soured his relationship with his wife, Catherine. It is part of the solution to the mystery of how a man so imbued with pity for humanity could be so cruel to his wife.

  • Charles Dickens 1812-1870
    THE LIFE OF OUR LORD written especially for his children by CHARLES DICKENS 1812-1870 FOREWORD TO THE 1996 EDITION By Christopher Charles Dickens “CHARLES DICKENS wrote this delightful little book in 1849 for his most private and personal readership - his own children. With no eye on publicity or pandering to any faction of his vast following, we can see here his own thoughts on the Christian Religion distilled, not only for the benefit of young readers but almost, one feels, to repeat to himself his belief in the Good News of God, and tell again the Gospel story in a pleasantly simple yet direct and accurate way. This brings a message of its own which should be important to all families of the world. Today I want to add to it a deeper understanding of who Jesus Christ was and still remains. He is, for most of us, God-made-man for our salvation, born of the Virgin Mary, and with Joseph as his chosen earthly foster father. We should strive to understand even more fully the Salvation Jesus achieved for us and how it happened and continues to happen in the Holy Eucharist, and in the life of Christ’s Church throughout the world. Though Charles Dickens had refused publication of this book during his own lifetime or that of his children, one of his sons, my great-grandfather Sir Henry Fielding Dickens set down in his Will that at his death the book might be released with the full consent of the family. This was granted and the work was published in 1934.

Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 – a June 1870) was an English writer born in Portsmouth England and was a social critic, Dickens father John Dickens was a clerk in the navy pay office. He had little formal education but his life taught him the formal education of facts this impoverishment led him to a successful literary person. From the very beginning his life was not easy and he suffered a lot. He was a man of various talents. He was a social reformer and very soon he became international literary celebrity and a keen observer of the society. His novels became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication and outlook of social injustice. Dickens last days were spends at God‟s Hill at his beloved home. It was an estate he‟d appreciated from the very beginning of his childhood. No writer since Shakespeare has occupied as important place as Dickens. No doubt, Dickens talked about social abuse in a very „realistic‟ way but also talked about the social greed in society. He mirrored the human struggles depicting London life. He says that people have lost the sense of value humanity. Charles Dickens was pleased when parliament eventually agreed to pass 1832 Reform Act____. He wanted to communicate with the society through his articles and various other means.

  • Charles Dickens
    Charles Dickens Charles John Huffam Dickens 7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are still widely read today. Born in Portsmouth, Dickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed readings extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education and other social reforms. Dickens's literary success began with the 1836 serial publication of The Pickwick Papers. Within a few years he had become an international literary celebrity, famous for his humour, satire and keen observation of character and society. His novels, most of them published in monthly or weekly instalments, pioneered the serial publication of narrative fiction, which became the dominant Victorian mode for novel publication. Cliffhanger endings in his serial publications kept readers in suspense. The instalment format allowed Dickens to evaluate his audience's reaction, and he often modified his plot and character development based on such feedback. For example, when his wife's chiropodist expressed distress at the way Miss Mowcher in David Copperfield seemed to reflect her disabilities, Dickens improved the character with positive features.
