The author of "The Friendly Shakespeare" now strips away the polite veneer of Victorian society to reveal Charles Dickens's life and times in all their squalor and glory. Includes a guide to all the author's work, interviews with Dickens aficionados from Patrick Stewart to biographer Phyllis Rose, a highly opinionated filmography, and information sidebars. Art throughout.
