DICKENS & WOMEN with Elizabeth Neales and Margaret & John Leonard

The lecture will deal briefly with the women in Dickens’ own life, before examining a selection of the women in the novels. It has been said that Dickens could not create plausible female characters, but, with the help of dramatisations by Margaret and John Leonard, the lecture will suggest that many of his female characters are wonderful and believable creations.

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 with the performing arts and now delight in sharing their enthusiasm for literary classics through dramatised readings.
