Introduction

Bowen, John; Patten, Robert I.

Pages: 1 –10

[This is an exciting time to read the work of Charles Dickens. Recent decades have seen important changes in our understanding of the shape of his life and of the lives of those who surrounded him, and in our knowledge of his fiction and other writings. Scholarship has brought to light many...

Publishing in Parts

Patten, Robert I.

Pages: 11 –47

[The publication in numbers, not only enables the writer to render incidents, persons, and, in short, all forms, subservient to his convenience or caprice, but gives just enough to serve as a meal to the mob of readers; and this quantity, or a little more, is perhaps as much of him as can be well...

Dickens and The Writing of a Life

Bodenheimer, Rosemarie

Pages: 48 –68

[The opening of the twenty-first century offers new opportunities to imagine a biographically inflected literary criticism. The individual career of a writer has come to be recognized as a significant aspect of cultural history, while the boundaries between psychoanalytic and historical...
Available

Performing Character

Andrews, Malcolm

Pages: 69 –89

[How does one represent authorship in a single visual image? Dickens was one of the most frequently photographed and painted of Victorian writers. When portrayed “at work” he sits at his desk, writing intently, or sometimes is apparently caught turning away from the desk to look toward the viewer...

Dickens and Plot

Schor, Hilary M.

Pages: 90 –110

[Literary critics in London in the 1850s found themselves obsessed with one question: What had happened to the Dickens novel? Where, oh where, was the Dickens of yore? Or, as one critic put it almost poignantly, readers “sit down and weep when we remember thee, O Pickwick!”1 This response to...

Visualizing Dickens

Sutherland, John

Pages: 111 –130

[The title of the conventionally tandemized volume, American Notes and Pictures from Italy, neatly encapsulates the problem contained in the title of this chapter. So too would contemplation of two such typical titles as Sketches by Boz and The Personal History of David Copperfield. Is Dickens...

From Blood to Law: The Embarrassments of Family in Dickens

Michie, Helena

Pages: 131 –154

[About two-thirds of the way through Charles Dickens’s last picaresque novel, Nicholas Nickleby, the titular hero comes home. Not quite a return, because he has never felt himself to be at home in London, this journey is nonetheless a family reunion, central to the novel’s imagination of...
Available

Reforming Culture

Waters, Catherine

Pages: 155 –175

[Dickens’s disturbing encounter with this symbol of outcast London on one of his “Night Walks” illustrates the crucial imaginative function of streetwalking as part of his reformist social vision. Nocturnal rambling, for Dickens, served as a vital stimulus to his imagination at the same time as...

Dickens’s Reading Public

Vincent, David

Pages: 176 –197

[In October 1837 The Quarterly Review stooped to recognize the arrival of a new author. The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist were appearing in monthly numbers and already it was clear that a seismic shift had taken place in the world of letters: The popularity of this writer is one of the most...

Politicized Dickens: The Journalism of the 1850s

Childers, Joseph W.

Pages: 198 –215

[“My faith in the people governing is, on the whole, infinitesimal; my faith in The People governed, is, on the whole, illimitable.”1]
