Descrizione

The ambiguities and perplexities of the Victorian Age were reflected in the contraddictions of Dicken's own life and character. Angus Wilson, who has been deeply interested in Dickens and his works since childhood, here writes a sympathetic and revealing study of Dicken's world, relating the social problems and background of the age to the characters and themes of his works. The book contains reproductions of nearly two hundred Victorian genre paintings, portraits, street scenes, caricatures, and contemporary illustrations of Dicken's works, including forty pages of colour plates. In conjunction with the illumination of Angu Wilson's text, this book is an unprecedentedly vivid evocation of the world of Charles Dickens.
