This work provides concise, accessible introductions to major
writers focusing equally on their life and works. Written in a
lively style to appeal to both students and readers, books in the
series are ideal guides to authors and their writing. Charles
Dickens is without doubt a literary giant. The most widely read
author of his own generation, his works remain incredibly popular
and important today. Often seen as the quintessential Victorian
novelist, his texts convey perhaps better than any others the drive
for wealth and progress and the social contrasts that characterised
the Victorian era. His works are widely studied throughout the
world both as literary masterpieces and as classic examples of the
nineteenth century novel. Donald Hawes book will provide a short,
lively but sophisticated introduction to Dickens's work and the
personal and social context in which it was written.
