Description

Explore the unique literary techniques of Charles Dickens with Dickens and the Grotesque from the Routledge Revivals series. This academic study examines how Dickens used grotesque effects to challenge the complacency of middle-class Victorian readers. Originally published in 1984, this title provides a deep look into the specific rhetoric found throughout his body of work. Michael Hollington traces the evolution of these techniques from Dickens' early writings to his late novels. The text begins by defining the grotesque before analyzing three major influences on his imagination: the tradition of the Gothic novel, caricature, and popular theatre, with a specific focus on pantomime. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in literary theory, Victorian history, and the development of Dickensian style.
