Summary
"Dickens A to Z is a guide to Dickens's life, works, characters, the Victorian context in which he lived and wrote, and the critics and scholars who have commented on his novels. This unique encyclopedia is a superbly organized, integrated reference suitable for both Dickens scholars and Dickens fans. Among the more than 2,500 cross-referenced entries can be found articles about: every Dickens novel, including story synopses, commentary, criticism, and adaptations; each of Dickens's journalistic essays, sketches, poems, and plays; each character Dickens created; Dickens's family, friends, acquaintances, professional contemporaries, and critics; places important to Dickens's life and work; social issues in Victorian England; and much more." "This encyclopedia is enhanced by 50 illustrations, many of them by Dickens's contemporaries, a chronology, a selected bibliography, and an index."--BOOK JACKET.
