Student Companion to Charles Dickens (Student Companions to Classic Writers) Book

Charles Dickens was the most popular writer of his age and is still considered one of the world's greatest novelists. This well-written study surveys his unusual and prolific life, relating his fiction writings to his concerns and active involvement with social conditions of early Victorian England. Glancy skillfully takes the reader back in time to appreciate the historical settings that inspired works like Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities. An entire chapter is devoted to each of these works, as well as to David Copperfield, Hard Times, the Christmas books, and the early novels from The Pickwick Papers to Martin Chuzzlewit. In each chapter, Glancy's analysis of plot, style, and character development brings these imaginative stories to life for the reader. This book examines Dickens' keen understanding of human nature and draws out the themes that make works such as A Christmas Carol as beloved today as when first written.Read More
