Are you one of those people who likes to curl up with a novel of an evening? I am too! I also enjoy going a bit beyond what meets the eye and poking around to see what may be hidden beneath the surface.
We all know Dickens as a social reformer, right? But to what extent is he also conforming to expectations, rather than challenging them?
I’m interested in questions like that and I’ll be pursuing more of them in upcoming posts. For now, though, take your pick of what’s on the carousel or check the posts table below.

I hope you find something to pique your interest!
