A Life.Charles Dickens was a phenomenon. Perhaps the gereatest novelist in the English language, he was the creator of characters who live immortally in the English imagination: Mr. Pickwick, the Artful Dodger, Mrs. Gamp, Mr. Micawber, Pip, Miss Haversham and many more. He was also a demonically hard-working journalist, father of ten children, indefatigable walker and traveller, and tireless in his support of liberal social causes. This book is the examination of Dickens we deserve. It gives full measure to his heroic stature - his huge virtues both as a writer and as a human being - while observing his failings in both respects with an understanding but unblinking eye. Illustrated. 527 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
