Dickens and Germay, Germany and Dickens

Abstract
In July and August of 2018, the Dickens Society Symposium was held for the first time in Germany. As Natalie J. McKnight noted in her remarks on the first day of the event, Charles Dickens in fact never visited Germany. Thus, the choice to hold the event in Tübingen could be seen by some people as a bit odd. However, as some symposium participants showed, there are connections linking Dickens and Germany and strong interest in the British author in the symposium’s host university town. For instance, Bethan Carney’s symposium presentation was titled “The Ghosts of Christmas Carols Past: The Influence of German Märchen on A Christmas Carol.” Additionally, several Tübingen University students created an exhibition poster on Dickens’s reception in Germany.
