Charles Dickens and His Performing Selves

Dickens and the Public Readings

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Charles Dickens's public readings have not had the attention they deserve; and yet Dickens put as much effort into perfecting his performances as he did with his novels. These performances were sensational events and won Dickens thousands of new admirers. This book tells that story and brings the events alive, with more detail than ever before.
