Book Synopsis Who's Who in Dickens by : Thomas Alexander Fyfe
Download or read book Who's Who in Dickens written by Thomas Alexander Fyfe and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE This book describes the Dickens creations, In the words of Dickens himself. But it is not a mere Dickens Dictionary. It presents, not names only, but portraits. No author is so frequently quoted, on the platform and in the Press, as Charles Dickens. But even those most familiar with his works are often, at the moment, unable to locate the reference. The idea of this book is to recall the characters so referred to. The book has another object. Its chief purpose is to illustrate the marvellous word-power which Dickens possessed. In a few words, or a terse sentence, or at most in a short paragraph, he presents a vivid portrait, which stamps upon the reader's mind, not only the individuality of the particular character, but the type of humanity which it portrays. My hope is that the book may not only be useful to the Dickens student, but may entertain the general reader.

Even if it meant telling Charles Dickens he was wrong. In Eliza Davis's day, Charles Dickens was the most celebrated living writer in England. But some of his books reflected a prejudice that was all too common at the time: prejudice against Jewish people. Eliza was Jewish, and her heart hurt to see a Jewish character in Oliver Twist portrayed as ugly and selfish. She wanted to speak out about how unfair that was, even if it meant speaking out against the great man himself. So she wrote a letter to Charles Dickens. What happened next is history.
