First published in 1980, this book surveys Dickens' growing power
to drive deep into the causes of his contemporary conditions. It
reveals the importance of nature to Dickens as a rich metaphor of
human freedom and potentiality, and emphasises his concern with
time and the problems of freedom. The author considers the
peculiarity of Dickens being unanimously acclaimed as a great
writer considering the difficulty in placing him definitively
within the literary tradition. The author argues Dickens was an
isolated figure, indifferent to changing fashions and with a strong
sense of the dignity of human nature and that this formed the basis
of his character and writings.
