Charles Dickens 200th Anniversary Collection Vol. 4
The master of the novel reveals himself in miniature. This collection gathers Dickens' shorter works - the fiction that didn't become books, the essays he wrote for magazines, the poetry he composed in private, and the speeches he delivered to crowds. Here is Dickens unfiltered: sharp-witted, politically fierce, sometimes tender, occasionally bizarre. The fiction pulses with the same social conscience that powered his novels, while the speeches reveal a performer who could hold an audience captive with his voice alone. The essays show a literary craftsman thinking aloud about art, society, and the act of writing itself. For readers who have loved his novels, these pieces offer something rarer: the raw material of a genius, in forms he never expected to last.
