Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, Dr. Engel
now lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, where he has taught at the
University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, and
Duke University. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. as a Woodrow Wilson
Fellow at UCLA. While at UCLA he won that university’s Outstanding
Teacher Award.
Dr.
Engel has written ten books published in England, Japan,
and the United States. His mini-lecture series on
Charles Dickens ran on PBS television stations around
the country. His articles have appeared in numerous
newspapers and national magazines including
Newsweek. He has lectured throughout the United
States and on all the continents including Antarctica.
Four plays which he has written have been produced
during the last ten years.
For his
scholarship and teaching, Dr. Engel has received North
Carolina’s Adult Education Award, North Carolina State’s
Alumni Professorship, and the Victorian Society’s Award
of Merit. Most recently, for his thirty years of
academic work and service in promoting Charles Dickens,
he was nominated and inducted into the Royal Society of
Arts in England.
Since
1980, Dr. Engel has been President of the Dickens
Fellowship of North Carolina, the largest branch of this
worldwide network of clubs. The sales of Dr. Engel’s
books, CDs, and DVDs have raised funds for The Great
Ormond Street Children’s Hospital which Dickens
helped found in London in 1852.
Professor Engel continues
to teach outside the classroom and give literary and
historical programs throughout the world. He also
presents assemblies at elementary, middle, and high
schools, and his educational CDs are used in classrooms
around the country. In his spare time, he enjoys
reading, walking, and vacationing in exotic locations
where he is not asked to deliver even one lecture.
