The Dickens Fellowship

February 7, 1812 – June 9, 1870

The Dickens Fellowship (www.dickensfellowship.org) was founded in London in 1902. In 1925, the Fellowship purchased 48 Doughty Street in London, home of Charles Dickens from 1837 to 1839. The Dickens House Trust was established to run the house as a museum and library and also serves as the head office of the Fellowship. Currently there are thirty-three Dickens Fellowship Branches located all over the world and twenty-two Branches within the United States with Raleigh, N.C., being the largest active branch in the world. Through programs and activities arranged by Headquarters and by the Branches, the Fellowship continues to project the spirit of Dickens and his works, and to foster the highest standards of scholarship in this field.
