Synopsis
Contradiction is the hallmark of Dickens' fiction and it is this which often causes frustration and bewilderment among students of his novels. In a book which is destined to make a major impact on Dickens teaching, Kate Flint faces these contradictions head on and offers an exciting and provocative reading of this great novelist. Dickens' writings perpetually straddle the gap between what he hoped could be true, and what his perceptions informed him was true. Thus, while social injustice arounsed acute anger in him, he derived comfort from an apparently stable class structure, though the existence of such injustice challenged his voiced belief in the innate goodness of the human heart. The startling juxtapositions in his novels, whether of subject matter or style, worked, at first, with a seemingly solid world. This book explores the richly paradoxical nature of the novels and will be of considerable help to students of Dickens.
