The Founder of the Feast? Dickens and Christmas - Professor Michael Slater MBE (Lecture 55 Minutes) (December 2016)

"Dickens is often credited with virtually inventing Christmas as we now know it and is in any case strongly identified with this festival".

"This is primarily owing to the immense and enduring popularity of his first Christmas Book, A Christmas Carol. In Prose (1843), but his subsequent seasonal offerings during the following quarter-century also contributed to this result. In this lecture I shall be looking at both contemporary and later responses to Dickens Christmas writings, and considering the extent to which he can be seen as the creator of the modern Christmas".


 
I will take the time while I am decorating, to turn this on through Roku and listen Meanderer, thank you much!
