Winner of the 2012 Colby Prize Dickens' rise to fame and his
world-wide popularity were by no means inevitable. He started out
with no clear career in mind, drifting in and out of the theatre,
journalism and editing before finding unexpected success as a
creative writer. Taking account of everything known about Dickens's
apprentice years, Robert L. Patten narrates the fierce struggle
Dickens then had to create an alter ego, Boz, and later to contain
and extinguish him. His revision of Dickens' biography in the
context of early-Victorian social and political history and print
culture opens up a more unstable, yet more fascinating, portrait of
Dickens. The book tells the story of how Dickens created an
authorial persona that highlighted certain attributes and concealed
others about his life, talent and publications. This complicated
narrative of struggle, determination, dead ends and new beginnings
is as gripping as one of Dickens' own novels.
