Sixteen scholars from across the globe come together in Charles
Dickens as an Agent of Change to show how Dickens was (and still
is) the consummate change agent. His works, bursting with restless
energy in the Inimitable's protean style, registered and commented
on the ongoing changes in the Victorian world while the Victorians'
fictional and factional worlds kept (and keep) changing. The essays
from notable Dickens scholars-Malcolm Andrews, Matthias Bauer, Joel
J. Brattin, Doris Feldmann, Herbert Foltinek, Robert Heaman,
Michael Hollington, Bert Hornback, Norbert Lennartz, Chris Louttit,
Jerome Meckier, Nancy Aycock Metz, David Paroissien, Christopher
Pittard, and Robert Tracy-suggest the many ways in which the notion
of change has found entry into and is negotiated in Dickens' works
through four aspects: social change, political and ideological
change, literary change, and cultural change. An afterword by the
late Edgar Rosenberg adds a personal account of how Dickens changed
the life of one eminent Dickensian.
