This volume of essays examines Dickens's complex representations of
sexuality and gender as well as his use of gender ideologies and
sexual and gender differences over the course of his literary
career, from his first sketches and early novels to his late works
of fiction. The essays approach gender issues in Dickens's writing
by focusing on a number of topics: his treatment of gender ideals
and transgressions; the intersections and displacements among
gender, class and race; the ties between gender and the body, and
among gender, voice and language; his depiction of the homosocial
and the homoerotic; and the relation between gender and the law.
The essays provide an introduction to the most recent approaches to
Dickens's fiction in addition to those now considered classic, draw
on queer theory and also feature a variety of methodologies,
ranging across feminist, historicist and psychoanalytic methods of
interpretation. The collection represents the best of previously
published research by Dickens's scholars and illuminates for
students and scholars alike the meaning of gender in such novels as
The Pickwick Papers, Dombey and Son, and Our Mutual Friend.
