Award-winning author Claire Tomalin sets the standard for
sophisticated and popular biography, having written lives of Jane
Austen, Samuel Pepys, and Thomas Hardy, among others. Here she
tackles the best recognized and loved man of nineteenth-century
England, Charles Dickens; a literary leviathan whose own difficult
path to greatness inspired the creation of classic novels such as
"Great Expectations," "David Copperfield," "Oliver Twist," and
"Hard Times."
From his sensational public appearances to the obsessive love
affair that led him to betray, deceive, and break with those
closest to him, "Charles Dickens: A Life" is a triumph of the
biographer's craft, a comedy that turns to tragedy in a story
worthy of Dickens' own pen.
