Charles Dickens was pre-eminently the novelist of the law, and his
lawyers have a hold upon the public imagination far surpassing that
of any other author. Dickens method is not the common one of
unreasoning denunciation of a class. He knew better than to
represent all lawyers as rogues, for he had the advantage of
knowing the legal profession from the inside. He never lays down
bad law, and he never credits a member of the legal profession with
impossible professional conduct.

Charles Dickens was pre-eminently the novelist of the law, and his
lawyers have a hold upon the public imagination far surpassing that
of any other author. Dickens method is not the common one of
unreasoning denunciation of a class. He knew better than to
represent all lawyers as rogues, for he had the advantage of
knowing the legal profession from the inside. He never lays down
bad law, and he never credits a member of the legal profession with
impossible professional conduct.
Using direct quotations from Dickens to complement his own analysis
and descriptions of the characters in his works, the author has
compiled a biographical dictionary of the works of Charles Dickens.
This title is cited and recommended by the Cambridge Bibliography
of English Literature. "It is not only valuable for reference
purposes, but one may take it up and read it with interest on any
page, and thus recall his former impressions of famous characters."

The enormous success of writers such as Teju Cole and Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie demonstrates that African literatures are now an
international phenomenon. But the apparent global legibility of a
small number of (mostly Anglophone) writers in the diaspora raises
the question of how literary producers from the continent, both
past and present, have situated their work in relation to the world
and the kinds of material networks to which this corresponds. This
collection shows how literatures from across the African continent
engage with conceptualizations of 'the world' in relation to local
social and political issues. Focusing on a wide variety of
geographic, historical and linguistic contexts, the essays in this
volume seek answers to the following questions: What are the
topographies of 'the world' in different literary texts and
traditions? What are that world's limits, boundaries and
possibilities? How do literary modes and forms such as realism,
narrative poetry or the political essay affect the presentation of
worldliness? What are the material networks of circulation that
allow African literatures to become world literature? African
literatures, it emerges, do important theoretical work that speaks
to the very core of world literary studies today.
