CHARLES DICKENS
“Charles Dickens was the precursor of modern mass entertainment, press, films and television all combined. He was also a brilliant conjurer, an effective mesmeriser. He called himself The Grand Sparkler of Albion. If he had not been an artist, he could have led a revolution, for he formed the image of the new society as much as he reflected it.” —Henry Swanzy in a 8.8. C. World Service programme for the Dickens centenary.
