{"product_id":"charles-dickens-as-an-agent-joachim-frenk-9781501736285","title":"Charles Dickens as an Agent of Change","description":"\u003cp\u003eSixteen scholars from across the globe come together in \u003ci\u003eCharles Dickens as an Agent of Change\u003c\/i\u003e to show how Dickens was (and still is) the consummate change agent. His works, bursting with restless energy in the Inimitable's protean style, registered and commented on the ongoing changes in the Victorian world while the Victorians' fictional and factional worlds kept (and keep) changing. The essays from notable Dickens scholars--Malcolm Andrews, Matthias Bauer, Joel J. Brattin, Doris Feldmann, Herbert Foltinek, Robert Heaman, Michael Hollington, Bert Hornback, Norbert Lennartz, Chris Louttit, Jerome Meckier, Nancy Aycock Metz, David Paroissien, Christopher Pittard, and Robert Tracy--suggest the many ways in which the notion of change has found entry into and is negotiated in Dickens' works through four aspects: social change, political and ideological change, literary change, and cultural change. An afterword by the late Edgar Rosenberg adds a personal account of how Dickens changed the life of one eminent Dickensian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joachim Frenk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501736280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501736285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Joachim Frenk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935204507903,"sku":"9781501736285","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6deb0be8-0d42-490f-9c17-917b021e45a4.jpg?v=1681418463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charles-dickens-as-an-agent-joachim-frenk-9781501736285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
