Here, at last, is a thoughtful, balanced book to give us a consistent and persuasive account of the writer's life and his development as an author."
(Miranda Seymour New York Times Book Review)Fred Kaplan is the author of Miracles of Rare Devices; Dickens and Mesmerism; Thomas Carlyle, A Biography (nominated for the 1983 National Book Critics Circle Award and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize); Sacred Tears; Gore Vidal: A Biography; and Dickens: A Biography, the last available in paperback from Johns Hopkins.
