In this episode, we’re joined by Emma Harper, Curator at the Charles Dickens Museum to explore the rich musical and cultural world of Dickens’s London. We discuss her role at the museum, the power of 19th-century street ballads, and how events like the Ballad Walk of Dickens bring the archives to life during the Bloomsbury Festival. Emma also shares fascinating insights into Dickens’s relationship with music, the museum’s collaborations, and why his legacy continues to resonate today.
