Description
Dickens's novels are renowned for their exploration of the human psyche, but how well did he truly understand himself? This thought-provoking book examines Dickens's correspondence and published works to shed light on his inner world.
Bodenheimer delves into the ways in which Dickens used literary techniques to navigate the boundaries between self-knowledge and concealment. By analyzing letters, essays, stories, and novels, she uncovers new insights into Dickens's thoughts on identity, memory, and relationships.
Through a systematic exploration of Dickens's correspondence, Bodenheimer offers a fresh perspective on the author's life and work, one that challenges familiar narratives in biography and criticism. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Dickens's complex and fascinating world.
