This review is from: Charles Dickens as a Reader (Paperback)

Charles Foster Kent (whose name, incidentally, inspired that of Orson Welles's Charles Foster Kane), was a Victorian journalist and friend of Dickens, who attended a huge number of the novelist's public readings, and has left us one of the best accounts of what they were like. His prose is occasionally a bit on the sticky side, but his accounts are infinitely fascinating. If you have any fondness for Dickens at all, pick up this work and plunge in.
