In following the twists and turns of Charles Dickens's early career, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst examines a remarkable double transformation: in reinventing himself Dickens reinvented the form of the novel. It was a high-stakes gamble, and Dickens never forgot how differently things could have turned out. From his traumatized childhood to the suicide of his first collaborator and the sudden death of the woman who had a good claim to being the love of his life, Dickens faced powerful obstacles. Douglas-Fairhurst's provocative new biography, focused on the 1830s, portrays a restless and uncertain Dickens who could not decide on the career path he should take and would never feel secure in his considerable achievements--From publisher description. 001399484 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001399484 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870. 001399484 650_0 $$aNovelists, English$$y19th century$$vBiography. 001399484 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDouglas-Fairhurst, Robert.$$tBecoming Dickens.$$dCambridge, Mass. : Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2011$$z9780674050037$$w(DLC) 2011004219$$w(OCoLC)700735598 001399484 8520_ $$bacq 001399484 85280 $$bebk$$hHarvard University Press 001399484 85640 $$3Harvard University Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.4159/harvard.9780674062764$$zOnline Access 001399484 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438103$$pGLOBAL_SET 001399484 980__ $$aEBOOK 001399484 980__ $$aBIB 001399484 982__ $$aEbook 001399484 983__ $$aOnline
