Subject: Virtual Expedition: "Decoding Dickens: The Shorthand Mysteries"


The Dickens Code Project is pleased to announce details of a free
online exhibition: ‘Decoding Dickens: The Shorthand Mysteries’. The
exhibition, which may be of interest to linguists working on writing
systems, historical linguistics and literary linguistics, examines the
crucial role of shorthand in Dickens’s life and work and enables
visitors to explore his little-known shorthand manuscripts from
collections around the world in the same digital space. It illustrates
the historical decoding of the scripts as well as our own
crowd-created, international efforts to crack the ‘Dickens Code’.

The exhibition is part of the Dickens Code project, a THE
award-winning collaboration, funded by the AHRC and led by Dr. Claire
Wood (University of Leicester) and Professor Hugo Bowles (University
of Buckingham).
