Description:Charles Dickens was unquestionably a giant of nineteenth century literature: his humour and wit, and his ability to weave a spellbinding tale, have all ensured that his works have been much translated and are still widely read today. Dickens's first story was published in 1833, and by the time of his death in 1870 he had created a large body of work. Each book is bursting with vibrant characters representing the entire Victorian social strata, from the seaminess of the underworld to the elegance of the leisured classes.By explaining their roles and providing skilful character biographies, 'Who's Who in Dickens' brings to life the diverse people of his world. Here can be found Dickens's classic creations: Wackford Squeers from 'Nicholas Nickleby'; Tiny Tim and Scrooge from 'A Christmas Carol'; Mr Micawber from 'David Copperfield'; Pip and Miss Havisham from 'Great Expectations'; as well as lesser-known characters such as Major Bagstock from 'Dombey and Son; Silas Wegg from 'Our Mutual Friend; and Mr Pecksniff from 'Martin Chuzzlewit'. Concise and elegantly written entries are accompanied by both contemporary illustrations and scenes from the many famous movies and shows which were inspired by Dickens's work, such as David Lean's 'Great Expectations (1946) and 'Oliver Twist' (1948), and George Cukor's 'David Copperfield' (1934).Arranged alphabetically for easy location, the thumbnail sketches of Dickens's many and varied characters, their quirks and idiosyncrasies, make 'Who's Who in Dickens' as entertaining to read as it is an invaluable work of reference.
