Great ExpectationsProfessor Barbara Hardy is a noted critic of nineteenth-century fiction but her essays on Dickens have hitherto been scattered widely among critical journals and anthologies. The seven studies she has here collected, introduced, and in part revised, together make up a sustained exploration of the moral concern which informs the novelist's work and gives to his portrayal of society and the individual its unique quality. A general discussion of the moral nature of Dickens' art leads to a study of patterns of change and conversion and this in turn to a close examination of four representative novelsDidactic fiction, EnglishHistory and criticismEthics in literatureDidactic fiction, EnglishHistory and criticism.Ethics in literature.823.8823/.8Hardy Barbara Nathan165572MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813097203321The moral art of Dickens4105351UNINA
