BELFAST.- To celebrate Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday
the Ulster Museum will host an exhibition marking the author’s special
relationship with Northern Ireland as part of the Ulster Bank Belfast Festival
at Queen’s this month. Entitled “Celebrating the 200th birthday of Charles
Dickens and his Unique Relationship with Ulster”, the exhibition will run from

three Belfast Reading Tours in 1858, 1867 and 1869, when Dickens wooed the
Northern Ireland audiences with his stories mixing humour, sharp societal
satire and tragedy. The most prolific author of his time, Dickens’ defining
novels, such as David Copperfield and A Christmas Carol, are still regularly
adapted for the stage, radio or cinema, as they remain socially relevant to
this day. A champion for the marginalised, Dickens fought oppression and
