Description

Dickens's religious beliefs are deeply intertwined with his creative imagination, shaping his works in profound ways. This study explores how Dickens's novels reflect and express his liberal Protestant faith, infused with Romantic and transcendental yearnings. Through a thorough examination of individual novels and lesser fiction, Walder reveals striking congruences between Dickens's work and particular religious themes. The author draws on contemporary press views and Dickens's non-fiction writings to provide a nuanced understanding of the novelist's methods and attitudes. This book offers a fresh perspective on Dickens's unique kind of fiction and his relationship with readers, shedding new light on his obsessive themes and literary preoccupations.
