In the first half of his career, Dickens wrote some of the most celebrated and funny of all English novels, including The Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, and Martin Chuzzlewit. This is the first full-length study of the earlier novels for thirty years. John Bowen blends contemporary theory and historical awareness to show how the novels continue to surprise and delight their readers.
In the first half of his career, Dickens wrote some of the most important novels of the nineteenth century, including The Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, and Martin Chuzzlewit. They are exorbitant and transgressive books, with an inventive comic force unprecedented in the English novel. In this, the first full-length study for thirty years, John Bowen blends contemporary theory and historical awareness to argue that they are radical in both political and fictional terms. With a tactful use of contemporary critical theory, he shows how their often uncanny power disturbs and transforms our ways of understanding Dickens''s work and his place in the history of the novel.
