The child who stops growing, infantile senility, the
'old-fashioned' child, child-wives and child-mothers, the
rejuvenated adult - Dickens's writings parade before us a gallery
of bizarre hybrids. Dickens and the Grown-up Child focuses on the
complicated and unresolved relationship between childhood and
adulthood in Dickens's fictional and non-fictional work. In
challenging the familiar view that the source of such anomalies
lies in Dickens's own childhood experiences, Malcolm Andrews
explores the extent to which Dickens was heir to an older cultural
debate about primitivism and progressivism, a debate which Dickens
adapted to his own preoccupations with the tensions between
childhood and maturity. In examining these issues, Malcolm Andrews
concentrates on the fiction of Dickens's middle years, particularly
David Copperfield, and on some of the journalistic essays.
