  • Summary

  • Charles Dickens loved to write about food, which features heavily in all of his stories. A Christmas Carol is no different, and is resplendent with descriptions of roast goose, mince pies, smoking bishop and an enormous, festive turkey.

    So why was food so important to Dickens? How did he use food in his writing to tell us about his characters? What does his descriptions tell us about Charles Dickens himself?

    Inimitable is produced and presented by Jordan Evans-Hill. Speakers include Dr Cindy Sughrue, Director of the Charles Dickens Museum, Dr Frankie Kubicki, deputy director and Emma Harper, curator. Guest speakers include Lucinda Dickens Hawksley, Dr Lee Jackson, Pen Vogler, Simon Callow and Miriam Margolyes.
