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"--10aDickens, Charles,d1812-1870xCriticism and interpretation.92063811 aLedger, Sally.92063821 aFurneaux, Holly.9206383  a = C.1 SDU  cGBE2lcc  c107809d107809  00102lcc406PR4588 C475  02011708CGB9279258aSDUbSDUcGEN3d2025-08-26e2l0oPR4588 C475 2011p1000373163r2025-08-26 00:00:00tC.1w2025-08-26yGBE
