Hearing Dickens Read A Christmas Carol (1868)


From December 1867 to April 1868, English author Charles Dickens traveled to the United States, appearing in several cities to read from his works. The tour generated excitement similar to that of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour today. Dickens opened his Washington, D.C., run at Carroll Hall on February 3rd, with Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase and Justice David Davis present. “I went Monday night,” Davis wrote home to his wife, Sarah, “...heard him read the Christmas Carol...[it] was read touchingly & brought tears into the eyes of many...” After attending a second reading featuring Nicholas Nickleby a few nights later, Davis recounted, “[it] was not so interesting as in the Christmas Carol...I wished from my heart that you & the girls & the Doctor could have heard him – He is a good actor, speaks clearly, and enters finely into the spirit of his characters...”
