Acclaimed actor and writer Simon Callow offers a fresh perspective
on one of the greatest novelists in the English language, Charles
Dickens, in this lively, colorful biography.
Dickens was one of the first true celebrity authors. Thousands of
fans in Britain and America eagerly awaited each new installment of
his stories and flocked to see him on his legendary speaking tours.
Not only did he create an incredible cast of characters on the
page, but he was also a dazzling mimic and storyteller, and he
wrote, stage-managed, and acted in plays for the public. Throughout
his life, from his childhood performances in pubs to his
legendarily powerful reading tours, Dickens was fanatical about the
stage. Callow reveals Dickens's genius on and off the page and
offers a compelling insight into a life that was driven as much by
performance and showmanship as by literature.
