Dickens in the Twentieth Century -- Index -- 330 8 $aCharles Dickens's experience and imagining of creativity is at the heart of his self-awareness, subject-matter and narrative. His intelligence works intuitively rather than conceptually and ideas about imagination often emerge informally in personal letters and implicitly through characters, language and story. His self-analysis and reflexive tendency are embedded in his styles and forms of narrative and dialogue, images of normality, madness, extremity, subversion and disorder, poetry and inter-textuality, anticipating and shaping the languages of modernism, influencing James Joyce and Virginia Woolf as well as traditionalists like H.G. Wells and Evelyn Waugh.  Discussing Dickens's novels and some of his letters, sketches, essays and stories, Barbara Hardy offers a fascinating demonstration of creativity. 606 $aImagination in literature 606 $2Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 606 $aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 0$aImagination in literature. 615 0$aCreation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 676 $a823/.8 700 $aHardy$b Barbara Nathan$0165572 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456803903321 996 $aDickens and creativity$91353902 997 $aUNINA
