Professor Michael Slater was my tutor at Birkbeck and he was witty and very kind as well as being immensely knowledgeable. What a treat to find this video.
Excellent lecture! Big Dickens fan here and I must say I was late in jumping on board The Dickens Express and now that I have done so my appreciation of his genius knows no limit. Thanks again to Gresham College for such excellent content!
Thank you Professor Slater. Professor your voice is so soothing and pleasant that I listened to your presentation five times this morning when I discovered your video. I enjoyed immensely your presentation on Mr. Dickens who is my favorite English author. Mr. Dickens’ approach on reading to his readers the last decade of his life inspires me so very much. I hope to do the same one day instead of publishing my manuscript.
SF,CA Dickens Festival - just went for the first time yesterday! Amazing....... goes on for 3 more weekends. Huge production.... staged areas.....performances...and more!
Michal Slater is a brilliant Dickens biographer. I'm reading his "Dickens and Women" just now which gives a sensitive and sympathetic account of the unfairly maligned Catherine Dickens.

What a wonderfully engaging lecture. I thoroughly enjoyed it. More, please.
I wish lecturers wouldn't read their presentations. They should be able to talk from notes...interesting nevertheless.

Thank you for these lectures I've been binging them throughout the holidays.
Excellent Talk

Beautifully read - thank you.
Charles Dickens has a big family tree 🌴 He’s a Christmas 🎄 gift of books 📚 ❤
Nice!
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
December 1843.
Dickens was seeking to maximize his income! Touring lectures in America got him huge income. While writing a novel would not bring that!
