In this reassessment of Dickens, the author draws on the theories
of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, in addition to Julia Kristeva
and Edward Said, to situate Dickens within the discourses
circulating within his society - in particular those associated
with modernity. Focusing on Dickens's novels written after 1848,
his relationship to modernity can be seen in his treatment of
violence, seen in two forms in his writing: that of the state (in
the rationalizing powers of Victorian bourgeois modernization), and
physical violence, as portrayed in Dickens's criminals and interest
in masochism and corpses.
