Charles Dickens in America: Bringing to Light a Previously Unrecorded Gem in the Kelvin Smith Library.
William Claspy, team leader for University Archives and Special Collections at the Kelvin Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University, will give a brief overview of the manuscript letters in their library’s collection and then talk in detail about the recent acquisition to their holdings. A previously unpublished letter written by Charles Dickens, which he wrote during his first visit to America in 1842 is now a part of their special collections. Join us for this exciting story of a perilous journey, a grateful passenger, and a letter discovered 180 years later.
