Peter Cook conducts a thorough analysis of both Romantic texts and eight of Dickens's novels, revealing how Dickens employs Romantic elements to critique the rapid changes of post-revolutionary society and their impact on personal relationships. This exploration illustrates the lasting significance of both Dickens and the Romantics in today's cultural landscape.
