Dickens Fellowship

The Dickens Fellowship was founded in 1902, and is an international association of people from all walks of life who share an interest in the life and works of Victorian era novelist Charles Dickens.

The membership of the Fellowship raised funds and put together a collection to exhibit in it.

The Dickensian publishes articles of literary criticism from scholars around the world.

It also carries reviews of books, plays, films and TV productions, together with reports of Fellowship activities and other Dickens-related news.

In 2002 the Fellowship campaigned to save an area of Kent marshland on the Hoo Peninsula which provided the setting to the opening chapter of Dickens's novel Great Expectations where the young Pip first encountered the escaped convict Magwitch.
