Addressing a significant gap in Dickens studies, four topics are identified: Childhood, Time, Progress, and Outsiders, which together constitute the main aspects of Dickens's debt to the Romantics. Through close readings of key Romantic texts, and eight of Dickens's novels, Peter Cook investigates how Dickens utilizes Romantic tropes to express his responses to the exponential growth of post-revolutionary industrial, technological culture and its effects on personal life and relationships. In this close study of Dickensian Romanticism, Cook demonstrates the enduring relevance of Dickens and the Romantics to contemporary culture.Literature, Modern19th centuryLiterature, Modern20th centuryEuropean literatureNineteenth-Century LiteratureTwentieth-Century LiteratureEuropean LiteratureLiterature, ModernLiterature, ModernEuropean literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.European Literature.823.809Cook Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut32721BOOK9910300037303321The Romantic Legacy of Charles Dickens2185754UNINA
