Description

Explore the massive influence of Charles Dickens on the American literary landscape in this scholarly work from Routledge. Originally published in 1988, this book investigates how Dickens dominated popular taste and shaped the American novel for sixty years. The author examines how even the most original American writers maintained a conscious sympathy with Dickens' style and themes. This study provides a detailed look at four distinct American authors: Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, Henry James, and Frank Norris. By analyzing their work, the text demonstrates how their debt to Dickens remains clearly evident despite their different literary approaches. This is an essential read for students and lovers of nineteenth-century literature who want to understand the connections between British and American storytelling traditions.
