Reissued to celebrate the bicentenary of Charles Dickens's birth,
The Oxford Companion to Charles Dickens (formerly The Oxford
Reader's Companion to Dickens) draws together an unparalleled
diversity of information on one of Britain's greatest writers:
covering his life, his works, his reputation, and his cultural
context. Featuring more than 500 A-Z articles, it throws new and
often unexpected light on the most familiar of Dickens's works, and
explores the experiences, events, and literature on which he drew.
There is also a chronology of Dickens' life, a list of characters
in his works, a list of entries by theme, a family tree, three
maps, an invaluable bibliography, and a general index. Compiled by
a distinguished editorial team, and written in a lucid, easy style
that would have pleased him, The Oxford Companion to Charles
Dickens offers a more authoritative and accessible range of
information than any other reference work on Dickens. Aspects
covered include: The private man and the public figure - his
family, friends, colleagues, and convictions The age in which he
lived and worked - the people, events, and institutions that
informed his writing The places that were significant to him - his
homes, his London, and the countries he visited The ideas and
social theories of the time - the attitudes he satirized and the
ideologies he advocated The works on which his reputation rests -
their history, structure, inspiration, and significance
