Description

Explore a fresh perspective on Victorian literature with Dickens' Novels as Poetry: Allegory and Literature of the City. Part of the Routledge Studies in Nineteenth Century Literature series, this academic work examines the unique language and style of Charles Dickens through a poetic lens. Rather than viewing his work as standard prose, this study argues that Dickens' novels function as a unique form of poetry. The text examines how his writing disrupts established ideas and modes of living by avoiding single, unambiguous truths. By looking at the unconscious processes within his language, the study reveals how Dickens perceives language as a double force within nineteenth-century modernity. Drawing on a wide range of Victorian texts and modern critical theory, the book investigates Dickens' fascination with popular song, literature, and the mechanics of jokes. This is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in the intersection of urban life, allegory, and the linguistic complexities of the nineteenth century.
