Very un-dickensian answers Stephen Send a noteboard - 13/06/2011 09:40:17 PM
I am constructing a course on Dickens, and so started wondering what I could expect people to have read. I would therefore be very happy if you could reply even if you haven't read anything.

For whom is this course aimed?
Have you read any Dickens?

A Christmas Carol when i was 10/11.
What have you read?

See above
Have you heard of any (other) Dickens novels?

I'd say I know most of them.
Why have you not read them?

Didn't entirely like it, plus cultural osmosis means I know it all already.
What is your perception of Dickens?

Pre-eminant guide to Victorian London, and elsewhere.
Have you seen any film/series versions of Dickens' novels?

Plenty of Christmas Carol adaptations, David Copperfield and Great Expectations.
Pick one word that you connect with Dickens. What is it?

London.
