Drawing on unpublished material brought to light in the 1980s, this portrait of the famous novelist explores the autobiographical significance of his greatest works and gives a frank account of his marriage and his relationship with his mistress. Dickens' views on the important social and political issues of his day are also discussed. Fred Kaplan is also the author of "Thomas Carlyle: A Biography" and "Dickens and Mesmerism".
