Dickensian Digressions: The Hunter, the Haunter and the Haunted
ISBN: 9781936320073 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Two major Dickens studies, each of them breaking fresh ground, vie for attention in this absorbing volume. The first explores the extent to which Charles Dickens inherited the mantle of Charles Lamb.

For various reasons, the project was abandoned but the batch of stories that he completed are now brought together in book-form for the very first time....
