A Companion to Charles Dickens concentrates on the historical, ideological, and social forces that defined Dickens's world. * Puts Dickens's work into its literary, historical, and social contexts * Traces the development of Dickens's career as a journalist and novelist * Includes original essays by leading Dickensian scholars on each of Dickens's fifteen novels * Explores a broad range of topics, including criticisms of his novels, the use of history and law in his fiction, language, and the effect of political and social reform * Examines Dickens's legacy and surveys the mass of secondary materials that has been generated in response and reverence to his writing

Rezensionen

(Oxford Journal Clippings, 1 November 2012)
"Pykett's chapter is preceded by a rewarding chapter on the literary culture of the day by Michael Hollington and followed by the final essay on 'Postcolonial Dickens'. As if to insist that any competition in the Dickens Companion industry is essentially good-natured, John O. Jordan has contributed this, rather wonderful, last word to close the book."

(Notes and Queries, March 2010)
"Several of these pieces should be indispensable reading for undergraduates... Each of the three Companions to Charles Dickens now available is a valuable resource for students, but Paroissien's is certainly the richest, and-- with simultaneous electronic publication- likely to be of most immediate and beneficial assistance to students."
