Synopsis

Volume 6 of this distinguished series, like the previously published volumes pursues the life, times, and work of Charles Dickens in a rich range of cur­rent scholarly research.

 

The contributors and their present aca­demic affiliations are: Peter Christmas, Stanford; William M. Burgan, Indiana; Albert D. Hutter, UCLA; Robert E. Lougy, Pennsylvania State; David D. Marcus, University of Illinois at Chi­cago Circle; Robert M. McCarron, Simon Fraser University; William J. Palmer, Purdue; Frank Edmund Smith, William Rainey Harper College; Randolph Splitter, California Institute of Technology; and Deborah A. Thomas, Fairleigh Dickinson.

 

The ten contributions range from precise studies of themes, symbols, and motifs to new readings of Dickens’ work, autobiographical reconstruc­tions, and textual studies.

 

One of the purposes of the series is to afford opportunity for publishing longer-than-article-length works, and though not all of the present essays are of such length, they all show the diver­sity as well as the range of the best of current Dickens scholarship.

 

Taken together, the contributions widen the dimensions of Dickens schol­arship and thus broaden our under­standing of the man and his work. The essays, of permanent value, will be of interest to general readers as well as students and specialists.
