Professor Kieran Dolin, Discipline Chair of English and Cultural Studies, has collaborated with Scholars' Centre staff to put together an exhibition of Library resources to mark the bicentenary of Charles Dickens' birth.

Professor Dolin has chosen rare items from the Special Collections, along with more modern publications and media, thereby tracing the Victorian novelist's career and long-lasting influence.

"I have chosen a mixture of early and modern editions, as collectively they give a sense of the popularity of Dickens, the consistent market for his books in every generation," Professor Dolin said. "The Library has some of the novels in their original serial format. Dickens scholars always talk about this, how Dickens pioneered the publication of novels in monthly or weekly serials, but the chance to see a complete set of numbers of Bleak House has been fascinating for me."

The exhibition is located in the foyer of the Reid Library until the end of the year.
