Robert Douglas-Fairhurst talks to the William Empson Society

Robert Douglas-Fairhurst gave a dazzling talk to the William Empson Society on Friday 27 February 2012. His title was Why Dickens? He has recently published, to considerable acclaim, 'Becoming Dickens'. The 200th anniversary of Dickens's birth is on 7 February and Winchester is very pleased to have marked the occasion with this excellent event.
