In this learning programme you will be exploring the Nasty and Villainous characters of Charles Dickens' novels and novellas.
You will develop an understanding of the genre conventions, plot, character, setting and narrative
structure through a variety of Dickens' texts and a study of the Victorian era in context.
As well as having the opportunity to consider are the characters in Dickens' novels a product of the society of the time they were written? Is what happens to them a reflection of societal systems?
