This lively and accessible introduction to Dickens focuses on the extraordinary diversity of his writing. Jon Mee discusses Dickens's novels, journalism and public performances, the historical contexts and his influence on other writers. In the process, five major themes emerge: Dickens the entertainer; Dickens and language; Dickens and London; Dickens, gender, and domesticity; and the question of adaptation, including Dickens's adaptations of his own work. These interrelated concerns allow readers to start making their own new connections between his famous and less widely read works and to appreciate fully the sheer imaginative richness of his writing, which particularly evokes the dizzying expansion of nineteenth-century London"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000349244 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000349244 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870$$xLiterary style. 000349244 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870$$xKnowledge$$xLondon (England) 000349244 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870$$xPolitical and social views. 000349244 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870$$xAdaptations. 000349244 830_0 $$aCambridge introductions to literature. 000349244 85200 $$bgen$$hPR4588$$i.M44$$i2010 000349244 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttp://assets.cambridge.org/97805216/76342/cover/9780521676342.jpg 000349244 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010021908-b.html 000349244 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010021908-d.html 000349244 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1010/2010021908-t.html 000349244 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:349244$$pGLOBAL_SET 000349244 980__ $$aBIB 000349244 980__ $$aBOOK
