Opis

This book considers the extent to which Dickens and his work reflect the vibrant novelty of the middle third of the nineteenth century. It looks at how his works transformed the social and cultural stimuli of the time--technological enterprise, urbanization, class mobility, the sense of profound difference from the preceding age--into a new and flexible fictional form.

Recenzje

Sander's book convincingly illustrates Dickens's qualifications for representing and engaging with the novelty of his own age.
