Showcasing Dickens Classics
|
English novelist Charles Dickens, who enjoyed a wider
popularity and fame during the Victorian Era than had any
previous author during his lifetime, remains popular today. First
and early editions of Dickens’ work will be featured in an exhibit
on view in the Joseph S. Stern, Jr. Cincinnati Room at the Main
Library from November 4-January 2. A Christmas Carol, which
is his most treasured and adapted work will be a key focus of
the exhibit. With this book, Dickens created a new genre—the
Christmas story written for the Christmas market. There have
been over 30 theater adaptations, at least 20 film versions, and
24 television interpretations of this Dickens classic.
