Literary works by famous British authors on show at Shanghai Library

Original manuscripts by five acclaimed British authors, including Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens, are currently on display at Shanghai Library for a month.

The exhibition, titled “Where Great writers gather: Treasures from the British Library”, kicked off on March 15. Admission is free.

In addition to Bronte and Dickens, manuscripts and letters by three other heavyweights in the English literature world – D.H. Lawrence, Percy Bysshe Shelley and T.S. Eliot – are on display. Chinese translations, adaptations and responses to their works can also be found at the exhibition.
