Re: only great expectations Camilla Send a noteboard - 14/06/2011 02:54:29 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.

Have you read any Dickens?

What have you read?

Have you heard of any (other) Dickens novels?

Why have you not read them?

What is your perception of Dickens?

Have you seen any film/series versions of Dickens' novels?

Pick one word that you connect with Dickens. What is it?

and i've got a tale of two cities waiting on the shelf. i've heard of a lot (if not all all of them) i've looked into his books with interest as to what to read next and i've seen a lot of television adaptions, bbc are always making period dramas...they kick ass.


which ones have you heard of?

do you remember which ones you have seen adapted?

why haven't i read any others? because i just haven't had time and i need to fancy it before i read it...i need to be in the mood

from great expectations his best feature was his characterisations they felt really fleshed out and distinctive

in a word...good?
