Superb, highly accessible biography of one of the giants of English
literature by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A THOUSAND ACRES
'Engaging and stimulating' Simon Callow 'Jane Smiley, in her
admirable contribution to Weidenfeld's series of short biographies,
deals briskly with Dickens's career and works, and treats with
sympathy and sense his relations with the women in his life'
LITERARY REVIEW From a bitter and poverty-stricken childhood to a
career as the most acclaimed and best loved writer in the
English-speaking world, Charles Dickens had a life as full of
incident as any of those he created in his novels of life in
Victorian England. The enormous quantity of work, his public
readings and his difficult relationships has made him a figure of
enduring fascination. In this biography Jane Smiley reveals Charles
Dickens as his contemporaries would have done, getting to know him
more intimately than ever before. At the same time Smiley offers
interpretations of almost all of Dickens' major works, showing how
'his novels shaped his life as much as his life shaped his novels'.
