DICKENS THE SOCIAL REFORMER with Elisabeth Neales and John and Margaret Leonard

This presentation shows that Charles Dickens was very critical of the social conditions and institutions of his time. In his novels, he exposed these conditions often by using humour and satire so that he would not alienate his readers.

The speaker will be Elisabeth Neales and the readers will be John and Margaret Leonard.

Elisabeth Neales is a graduate of Oxford University and has taught English and History in secondary schools in England and Australia. She is currently Secretary of the Dickens Fellowship Melbourne Branch.

John and Margaret Leonard have diverse experience in the performing arts and now delight in sharing their enthusiasm for literary classics through dramatised readings.
