Notes and Queries, Vol. 6: A Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; July-December 1870 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book sheds light on the world of Charles Dickens through the lens of his connection to Grimaldi, the famous clown. While not written by Dickens himself, the book is based on his condensed and edited version of Grimaldi's memoirs. However, it is not just a simple biography; the author explores the nature of their relationship, setting it within the wider context of Dickens' life and the Victorian fascination with clowns. By examining Grimaldi's story and his own reaction to it, Dickens reveals much about his own experiences and motivations. The author concludes that Dickens's fascination with Grimaldi was not just a passing interest, but rather a profound connection that shaped his understanding of the human condition and his own role as a writer.
