Charles Dickens: The Progress Of A Radical (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436697125)

""Charles Dickens: The Progress of a Radical"" by T.A. Jackson is a comprehensive biography of the famous Victorian novelist and social critic. The book explores Dickens' life and career, from his humble beginnings as a journalist to his rise as one of the most popular and influential writers of his time. The author delves into Dickens' political views and activism, which were shaped by his experiences growing up in poverty and witnessing the social injustice of his day. Jackson examines how these beliefs informed Dickens' writing, from his early works like ""Oliver Twist"" and ""Nicholas Nickleby"" to his later, more politically charged novels such as ""Hard Times"" and ""A Tale of Two Cities"". The book also explores Dickens' personal life, including his relationships with family, friends, and fellow writers, as well as his struggles with depression and marital issues. Overall, ""Charles Dickens: The Progress of a Radical"" offers a detailed and engaging portrait of one of the most significant literary figures of the 19th century, shedding light on both his literary achievements and his impact on social and political reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
