One of the most striking things about Dickens for me is the way he is constantly being re-invented and re-experienced – through postcolonial readings and neo-Victorian fiction for example. And also through and by changing technologies: websites, this online conference, the University of Warwick project, apps, screen adaptations, audio books (Matthew Rubery has written very insightfully about this). Dickens, I figure, would be thrilled, not only with the exposure, but precisely because of his commitment to movement and his great energy.
