Dickens Studies Annual - Hardcover

The Dickens Studies Annual was established in 1969 as the successor to the Dickens Studies journal, the quarterly which ceased publication on the death of its editor, Noel Peyrouton. Unlike the journal, however, the Dickens Studies Annual is a clothbound volume, and emphasizes longer-than-journal-length contributions.

The seventeen contributions made to this first volume of the new series exemplify the range and diversity of modern Dickens scholarship. They include textual studies, investigation of Dickens as an editor, his early training as a writer, explorations of psychological dimensions of Dickens and his work, and new, close readings and studies of character and themes in Dickens’s works.

Contributors are: Harry Stone, Margaret Ganz, John R. Reed, Duane DeVries, Louis James, Jane Rabb Cohen, Angus Easson, Jerome Meckier, Henri Talon, Michael Steig, J. Miriam Benn, Trevor Blount, Lance Schachterle, Leonard Manheim, Robert Barnard, Annabel M. Pat­terson, and Paul Gottschalk.
