Description
Contemporary Dickens presents some of the most intriguing work being undertaken in Dickens studies today. Edited by Eileen Gillooly and Deirdre David, this collection of essays reveals Dickens to be our contemporary, exploring issues such as gender and sexuality, environmentalism, and national identity.
The contributors argue that these concerns were frequently explored by Dickens himself, and that his work remains significant in the current reassessment of critical methodologies. This book offers fresh perspectives on familiar topics, making it an original contribution to Dickens studies and Victorian criticism.
