Charles Dickens travelled to North America twice, in 1842 and
twenty-five years later in 1867--68, and on both trips
Massachusetts was part of his itinerary. Although many aspects of
his U.S. travels disappointed him, Massachusetts was the one state
that met and even exceeded Dickens's expectations for "the republic
of [his] imagination." From the mills of Lowell to the Perkins
School for the Blind, it offered an alternate vision of America
that influenced his future writings, while the deep and lasting
friendships he formed with Bostonians gave him enduring ties to the
commonwealth. This volume provides insight from leading scholars
who have begun to reassess the significance of Massachusetts in the
author's life and work. The collection begins with a broad
biographical and historical overview taken from the full-length
narrative of the award-winning exhibition Dickens and
Massachusetts: A Tale of Power and Transformation, which attracted
thousands of visitors while on display in Lowell. Abundant images
from the exhibition, many of them difficult to find elsewhere,
enhance the story of Dickens's relationship with the vibrant
cultural and intellectual life of Massachusetts. The second section
includes essays that consider the importance of Dickens's many
connections to the commonwealth. In addition to the volume editors,
contributors include Chelsea Bray, Iain Crawford, Andre DeCuir,
Natalie McKnight, Lillian Nayder, and Kit Polga.
