À propos de ce contenu audio
'The Chief is fond of a circus.'
A unique and perceptive insight into the life and literary career of Charles Dickens, told by one of the men who knew him best: his manager and secretary, George Dolby.
Published in 1885, Dickens As I Knew Him recounts Dolby's time managing Dickens's reading tours across Britain and America from 1866 to 1870. Dolby's narrative offers a firsthand account of these tours, illustrating Dickens's dedication to both his craft and his readers. From the extensive travelling, logistical challenges of the events and the enthusiastic audiences Dickens received, Dickens As I Knew Him paints a vivid portrait of the literary giant's career in his later years, providing valuable insights into the man behind some of the most popular works of the century. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Ben Allen.
George Dolby (1831 – 1900) was a theatre manager, secretary and writer. He was employed by Chappell Publishers in 1866 to work with Charles Dickens during his reading tour across Britain and North America, eventually becoming Dickens's close friend and confidant.
