His works are widely studied throughout the world both as literary masterpieces and as classic examples of the nineteenth century novel. Combining a biographical approach with close reading of the novels, Donald Hawes offers an illuminating portrait of Dickens as a writer and insight into his life and times. ThisAbook will provide a short, lively but sophisticated introduction to Dickens's work and the personal and social context in which it was written.
