Little Dorrit's Shadows: Character and Contradiction in Dickens

by Charles Dickens and Brian Rosenberg

This work explores the specific relations between Dickens's ambivalent or self-contradictory imagination and his creation of character. The author argues that contradiction and uncertainty do not merely colour Dickens's characterisation but largely account for its distinctiveness and success.
