'The world's greatest literature code breaking project'

Available for over a year

Charles Dickens used to write in shorthand for his own letter writing and note taking, little is known about how he did so. It was his own unique system that he developed, which was complex and puzzling - Dickens himself called it a 'savage stenographic mystery'. The mystery of these undeciphered texts created a wider interest in solving the 'Dickens Code'. It led to the Dicken's Code Project, led by the University of Leicester, which has now won a pretisgious award. Dr Claire Wood from the University explains more about the project..
