Texts, Contexts and Intertextuality
Dickens as a Reader, Close Reading 1, Series for Literary and Cultural Studies
While Dickens used to be seen as a writer of shallow and sentimental childrens literature, as the prolific caterer to the new market of mass literature, this collection of essays shows that Dickens was not only a reader of high-brow literature, but also expected his readers to understand them in the context of contemporary scientific and economic debates. Covering a wide range of writers - from Sidney, Shakespeare, Cervantes to Swift, Smollett and Bulwer-Lytton - Dickenss novels reveal a multi-layered cosmos and supply their readers with richly woven nets of intertextuality.
