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. 000438103 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438103 60010 $$aDickens, Charles,$$d1812-1870. 000438103 650_0 $$aNovelists, English$$y19th century$$vBiography. 000438103 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDouglas-Fairhurst, Robert.$$tBecoming Dickens.$$dCambridge, Mass. : Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2011$$z9780674050037$$w(DLC) 2011004219$$w(OCoLC)700735598 000438103 8520_ $$bacq 000438103 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000438103 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3301041$$zOnline Access 000438103 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438103$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438103 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438103 980__ $$aBIB 000438103 982__ $$aEbook 000438103 983__ $$aOnline
