Charles Dickens became immensely popular early on in his career as
a novelist, and his appeal continues to grow with new editions
prompted by recent television and film adaptations, as well as
large numbers of students studying the Victorian novel. This lively
and accessible introduction to Dickens focuses on the extraordinary
diversity of his writing. Jon Mee discusses Dickens's novels,
journalism and public performances, the historical contexts and his
influence on other writers. In the process, five major themes
emerge: Dickens the entertainer; Dickens and language; Dickens and
London; Dickens, gender, and domesticity; and the question of
adaptation, including Dickens's adaptations of his own work. These
interrelated concerns allow readers to start making their own new
connections between his famous and less widely read works and to
appreciate fully the sheer imaginative richness of his writing,
which particularly evokes the dizzying expansion of
nineteenth-century London.
