"This clear-sighted biography and literary study examines Dickens the novelist in all his glory. It begins with the life: its often tragic as well as comic dimensions. Brian Murray analyzes the important influence of Dickens's early professional experiences as a journalist. (It was as a reporter that Dickens encountered, and first wrote about, the great human problems of modern urban life that were to inform so much of his later work.) Also discussed is Dickens's fascination with the theater. Like any experienced playwright, he was always acutely aware of his audience. And the later reading tours, which became an obsession, were almost certainly an aspect of the same impulse." "Successive chapters discuss the great novels, from Pickwick to Edwin Drood. They are looked at in their social context and from the standpoint of character, narrative, and structure. Readings of novels such as Dombey and Son and Bleak House are of especial interest for their close analysis of sometimes neglected works." "At times, Dickens seems dated. But the large audience that exists for his work today, as it appears in various media, is proof of his teeming inventiveness and the universality of his themes. Humorist, satirist, muckraker, sentimentalist, tragedian, chronicler of humanity, Dickens continues to delight and to teach - to enlighten all of humanity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Writers and their Work series contains three essays on Dickens, an account of biographical and critical studies by K.J. Fielding and appreciations of the early and the late novels by Trevor Blount and Barbara Hardy respectively. Professor Hardy's present essay, the third Writers and their Work Special, combines a biographical introduction with a complete survey of the novels, sketches, and other prose works. Dickens originally learned his craft as a journalist and the essay begins with a chapter on his first descriptions of London, Sketches by Boz: it traces the process whereby his observation of city life and social change gradually developed into an elaborate fictional technique. Of the early novels Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby are the most fully discussed, with especial attention to Dickens' insight into criminal psychology in the former. In the later novels, beginning with Bleak House, Hardy finds a closer unity of theme and structure, the result of the firmer grasp of social criticism which Dickens displays during the 1850's and 1860's. There had been plenty of exposure of contemporary injustices and abuses in the earlier fiction, but in the later the confrontation between rich and poor has become more urgent, the comedy less carefree, the comic and serious elements more closely blended. In these later novels too, Hardy notes an effort to bring the imagination more closely to bear upon the inner life of the principal characters. Dickens does not attempt the kind of novel which is shaped by inner action as George Eliot and Henry James were to do: he keeps an external focus on society but strives within this dimension for a fuller access to the inward conflicts of characters such as Edith in Dombey and Son and Pip in Great Expectations. Barbara Hardy (1924-2016) was Professor of English at Birkbeck College, University of London. Her publications include The Novels of George Eliot: A Study in Form; The Appropriate Form: An Essay on the Novel; Middlemarch: Critical Approaches to the Novel; Critical Essays on George Eliot; The Moral Art of Dickens; The Exposure of Luxury: Radical Themes in Thackeray; A Reading of Jane Austen; Tellers and Listeners: The Narrative Imagination; and The Advantages of Lyric, Particularities: Readings in George Eliot.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist CHARLES DICKENS (1812-1870) not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his characters-from Oliver Twist to Ebenezer Scrooge, from Miss Havisham to Uriah Heep-have become not merely iconic, but mythic. But it was his stirring portraits of ordinary people-not the upper classes or the aristocracy-and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor, and in particular for poor children, in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century. Without Charles Dickens, we may never have seen the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Upton Sinclair, or even Bob Dylan. Here, in 30 beautiful volumes-complete with all the original illustrations-is every published word written by one of the most important writers ever. The essential collector's set will delight anyone who cherishes English literature...and who takes pleasure in constantly rediscovering its joys. This volume contains Pictures from Italy-an 1846 travelogue featuring delightful observations on the street life of the great cities of that land-and American Notes, a journal of Dickens's 1842 visit to the United States and Canada, the trip that provided the inspiration for his novel Martin Chuzzlewit.

Charles John Huffam Dickens pen-name "Boz," was the foremost English novelist of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Considered one of the English language's greatest writers, he was acclaimed for his rich storytelling and memorable characters, and achieved massive worldwide popularity in his lifetime. Later critics, beginning with George Gissing and G. K. Chesterton, championed his mastery of prose, his endless invention of memorable characters and his powerful social sensibilities. Yet he has also received criticism from writers such as George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf, who list sentimentality, implausible occurrence and grotesque characters as faults in his oeuvre.
