Dickens and Fairy Tales

Some interesting things, I thought, came out of yesterday's seminar; and I've blogged a few of them at The Valve. Check it out. [AR]

  1. I know it's ages away, but it looks like there is a bit more fairytale stuff -- on Edwin Drood. I really like this topic, and I found this book (might be useful nearer the time):

  2. Thank's Alice: just to repeat that, embedding the link: that's Geoffrey Thurley's 1976 study The Dickens myth: its Genesis and Structure, available on Googlebooks. Interesting stuff.
