Appreciations and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens

More about the book

Exploring the complexities of Dickens' work, the author reflects on previously published essays intended as prefaces for his books. While these essays were overshadowed by Dickens' brilliance, they aimed to convey insights to a new generation. The author acknowledges the challenge of articulating these thoughts, likening his theoretical musings to a dry biscuit accompanying a rich literary feast. This prologue serves as a renewed effort to capture the essence of Dickens, despite the possibility of falling short once more.
