John Furber Dexter (12 December 1847, Kensington, London – 17 June 1927, Wandsworth, London) was an English collector of Charles Dickens's works.[1][2] Following his death Dexter's collection remained in family hands[3] before being purchased by the British Library in 1969 as the Dexter Collection of Dickensiana, which comprises primary and secondary Dickens material to support study, teaching, and research.[4][5]
