'No words can express the secret agony of my soul'. Dickens's
tantalising hint alluding to his time at Warren's Blacking Factory
remains a gnomic statement until Forster's biography after
Dickens's death. Such a revelation partly explains the dominance of
biography in early Dickens criticism; Dickens's own childhood was
understood to provide the material for his writing, particularly
his representation of the child and childhood. Yet childhood in
Dickens continues to generate a significant level of critical
interest. This volume of essays traces the shifting importance
given to childhood in Dickens criticism. The essays consider a
range of subjects such as the Romantic child, the child and the
family, and the child as a vehicle for social criticism, as well as
current issues such as empire, race and difference, and death.
Written by leading researchers and educators, this selection of
previously published articles and book chapters is representative
of key developments in this field. Given the perennial importance
of the child in Dickens this volume is an indispensable reference
work for Dickens specialists and aficionados alike.
