Description
Charles Dickens: A Life and Times. This Very Short Introduction explores the key themes running through Charles Dickens's works, revealing his attitudes towards the harsh realities of 19th-century society and its institutions. Jenny Hartley examines how Dickens reflected these attitudes in his writing, as well as his multiple lives and careers outside of literature. Dickens was a prolific writer, editor, and social advocate, whose public readings enthralled audiences but also contributed to his untimely death. This book considers the enduring legacy of Dickens's work, and what it means to be associated with the term 'Dickensian' today.
