Charles Dickens, a man so representative of his age as to have
become considered synonymous with it, demands to be read in
context. This book illuminates the worlds - social, political,
economic and artistic - in which Dickens worked. Dickens's
professional life encompassed work as a novelist, journalist,
editor, public reader and passionate advocate of social reform.
This volume offers a detailed treatment of Dickens in each of these
roles, exploring the central features of Dickens's age, work and
legacy, and uncovering sometimes surprising faces of the man and of
the range of Dickens industries. Through 45 digestible short
chapters written by a leading expert on each topic, a rounded
picture emerges of Dickens's engagement with his time, the
influence of his works and the ways he has been read, adapted and
re-imagined from the nineteenth century to the present.
