Today’s exactly 200 years since the great Charles John Huffam Dickens was born.
Dickens was the most popular English writer of the Victorian era, responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic novels and characters.
Tributes and events of all kinds are marking the occasion today but there is much more Dickens celebrating still to come. There is still time to visit the leading Dickens exhibition in town at the Museum of London, and there is a new exhibition coming soon at the Royal Academy of Music (opening on 2 May) that will explore the novelist’s relationship with music.
