[This exhibition] is illustrated with rare 19th-century broadsides, prints, posters, photographs, programs, and the original, annotated promptbooks used by Dickens during his vastly popular public readings." Dickens is highlighted "as performer, as playwright, and as the author upon whose works countless adaptations for the theater have been based." From the New York Public Library.
