Join us for a monthly journey through Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was the first serialized novel written by Dickens and was published in 20 monthly parts (2-3 chapters per month) from March 1836-October 1837. Edward G. Pettit and a rotating set of Dickensian cohosts will talk about each serialized part once a month from March 2023-October 2024.

Episodes stream live on the third or fourth Saturday of every month, 2:00-4:00 pm ET, with the recordings available to watch on the Rosenbach’s YouTube channel: Monthly Pickwick.
