Pełny opis

Step into the crowded streets and private rooms of Dickens's imagination with a single, indispensable companion. Essential for Dickens readers everywhere. Alphabetically arranged, A Dickens Dictionary collects the characters and scenes of Charles Dickens's novels and miscellaneous works, presenting a dependable character encyclopedia that maps who appears where across Dickens's writings. Part victorian literature reference and part literary companion guide, it is equally useful when skimming for a minor name or preparing a seminar on Victorian London settings. Accessible without academic fog, the entries make complex social types and recurring motifs accessible to casual readers, while serving as a practical literature students resource and a sure book club companion for those discussing classic British fiction and the sweep of nineteenth-century England. It is particularly helpful when characters share similar names or titles, offering quick orientation without reopening a novel. The tone is concise and respectful, grounded in the period's social texture and ready to guide modern readers back into Dickens's many scenes.

Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. As a reference born of the Victorian era's own appetite for character and social portraiture, this work is a compact index to the dramatis personae of English literary classics and an aid to researchers of nineteenth-century England and students of victorian era studies. Collectors of classic British fiction will appreciate the care of this edition; casual readers will welcome quick rescue when a name or setting slips from mind. Useful on the bookshelf of a student, a teacher or a devoted collector, the dictionary supports close reading and lively discussion alike. Whether you are tracing Dickens novel characters, preparing coursework on Charles Dickens works, or simply savouring the texture of Victorian London, this volume makes the vast Dickensian world easier to navigate and enjoy.
