From their first appearance in print, Dickens's fictions
immediately migrated into other media, and particularly, in his own
time, to the stage. Since then Dickens has continuously, apparently
inexhaustibly, functioned as the wellspring for a robust
mini-industry, sourcing plays, films, television specials and
series, operas, new novels and even miniature and model villages.
If in his lifetime he was justly called 'The Inimitable', since his
death he has become just the reverse: the Infinitely Imitable. The
essays in this volume, all appearing within the past twenty years,
cover the full spectrum of genres. Their major shared claim to
attention is their break from earlier mimetic criteria - does the
film follow the novel? - to take the new works seriously within
their own generic and historical contexts. Collectively, they
reveal an entirely 'other' Dickensian oeuvre, which ironically has
perhaps made Dickens better known to an audience of non-readers
than to those who know the books themselves.
