Popular speaker Dr. Elliott Engel returns with his presentation – A Dickens of a Christmas
With the publication of A CHRISTMAS CAROL in 1843, Charles Dickens changed the way we now celebrate Christmas. Using anecdotes, analysis, and large doses of humor, Dr. Elliot Engel will provide fascinating background on this most beloved holiday tale and its brilliant author.
Historian Elliot Engel brings to life each of his literary and historical topics. He earned his Ph.D. as a Woodrow Wilson Fellow at UCLA. Engel has written 10 books, multiple plays and a PBS series on Charles Dickens. For his scholarship and teaching, he received North Carolina’s Adult Education Award, NC State’s Alumni Professorship and the Victorian Society’s Award of Merit. Most recently, for his 30 years of academic work and service in promoting Charles Dickens, he was nominated and inducted into the Royal Society of Arts in England.
