The Dickens Universe

"Held every year at the beginning of August on the beautiful UC Santa Cruz campus, the Dickens Universe brings together scholars, graduate students, high school teachers, and members of the general public for a week of study and Dickensian conviviality. The program includes formal lectures by internationally distinguished scholars, seminars, small discussion groups, films, performances, exhibits, and a variety of informal social activities. Regularly attended by more than 200 participants of different ages and backgrounds, the Universe provides a relaxed and supportive environment in which to pursue serious intellectual inquiry.


Each summer, the Universe program focuses on a different Dickens novel and on a related theme. Previous gatherings have featured such topics as "Dickens and America" (in conjunction with Martin Chuzzlewit), "Dickens and Women" (in conjunction with Dombey and Son), "Dickens and the Law" (in conjunction with Bleak House), and "Dickens and Victorian Publishing" (in conjunction with The Pickwick Papers). Papers presented at the Dickens Universe are published regularly in Dickens Studies Annual: Essays on Victorian Fiction."

Dates for the 2011 Dickens Universe, featuring Great Expectations are Sunday July 31 to Saturday August 6. You can read a report about the 2010 Dickens Universe here."
