Among professional storytellers whose works have been adapted for
cinematic dramatization, mid-19th century English novelist Charles
Dickens stands in a class of his own. In addition to his most
well-known works such as A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist, which
are unrivaled for their sheer number of film adaptations, each of
Dickens' other major works have been adapted for the screen
multiple times, and many remain accessible for viewing on a variety
of platforms. This book-by-book survey highlights the most popular
adaptations of each Dickens book, spanning from the films of the
silent era through the 21st century. The survey also includes a
critical examination that compares the adaptations to the original
texts. An analysis outlines the many connections between the
fictional narratives and the novelist's own frequently
misunderstood biography.
