Welcome!
Former Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said, "In literary matters my dividing line is: Do you like Dickens or do you not? If you do not, I am sorry for you and that is an end of the matter."
Vladimir Nabokov, in addressing his students, said, "If it were possible I would like to devote the fifty minutes of every class meeting to mute meditation, concentration, and admiration of Dickens."
