Assignment Dickens and the Adolescent

Abstract

At a recent exhibition on adolescence organised at the Annual Conference of the Buckinghamshire Mothers' Clubs an interesting exhibit was designed to show the part played by Charles Dickens in alleviating the abuses of the early nineteenth century, and it is an interesting example of how the historical approach can be exploited in exhibition material. The following report was made by the Hon. Secretary of the club responsible for pre paring the exhibit.
