5: The Creator of Squeers by PROFESSOR PHILIP COLLINS of the University of Leicester
Reader, GARY WATSON
Dickens's concern about the rights of childhood shines through as a recurring preoccupation in his novels. In general his views on the education and welfare of children were in accord with the progressive thought of his time. but there was, as there still is. some controversy as to whether Dotheboys Hall was a fair comment on the Yorkshire boarding schools.
Members of his family and friends draw on their memories in this radio portrait, which also considers his achievements as a novelist, sociologist, and popular historian
