Charles Dickens in America
Charles Dickens in America – William Glyde Wilkins In reading ‚American Notes‘ and Dickens’s letters from America, Mr. Wilkins was struck by two things: the almost bitter severity of his criticism of the American newspapers and his views on the subject of international copyright. To the end of satisfying himself of the justice of these […]
Charles Dickens – Social Reformer
Charles Dickens – Social Reformer – William Walter Crotch It seems important to emphasize the fact that Charles Dickens was in a very special sense a social reformer.

Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens – Sidney Dark „Dickens,“ Mr. G. K. Chesterton has written, „is as individual as the sea and as English as Nelson.“ The author of this biography has found no better excuse than this for writing another book about him.

Bleak House
Bleak House – Charles Dickens Bleak House is not certainly Dickens’s best book; but perhaps it is his best novel. Such a distinction is not a mere verbal trick; it has to be remembered rather constantly in connection with his work. This particular story represents the highest point of his intellectual maturity.
