Founded April 4, 1905
The Dickens Fellowship of New York
All are welcome!
Members of the Dickens Fellowship of New York (DFNY) seek to maintain the memory and study of author Charles Dickens. We share a common set of goals with other branches of the worldwide Dickens Fellowship. We promote comradery among lovers of Dickens's works, advance Dickens's lifelong values, and preserve objects and works associated with Dickens. The DFNY has aspects of a literary society, or book club, but includes much more, as the name Fellowship implies.
Although our Fellowship was founded in New York City, the virtual era has allowed participants to Zoom in from across the United States. We typically meet on the third Saturday of each month, in the afternoon, to discuss chapters from a selected Dickens work. Additionally, we hold at least one in-person luncheon per year, usually around the holidays or a date significant to Dickens's life, and we have hosted guest speakers in the past. Visit our meeting page for details.
The Dickens Fellowship of New York is currently reading and analyzing The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Please see our Meetings page for monthly readings/location/dates/times and contact information.

The Dickens Fellowship of New York and its members seek to keep the memory and study of Charles Dickens alive in New York City. The organization has aspects of a literary society or book club but includes much more as the name Fellowship implies. Our meetings include social events and group outings. Members are kept apprised of cultural programs in New York City and the tri-state area that relate to Dickens and his Victorian era.
