Description

First published in 1984, this Routledge Revivals edition examines how Charles Dickens developed a distinctive rhetorical style using grotesque effects to challenge Victorian middle-class complacency. The study explores definitions of the grotesque and traces three formative influences on Dickens' imagination: popular theatre including pantomime, caricature techniques, and Gothic novel traditions. Michael Hollington traces the evolution of Dickens' grotesque application from his early works through his late novels, demonstrating how this literary device became increasingly sophisticated and integral to his artistic vision. This academic analysis provides scholars and students with essential insights into Dickens' innovative use of the grotesque as a tool for social critique and imaginative expression.
