Requests:  0 Summary:  "A radical reassessment of the famed Victorian author, revealing the true story behind the creator of some of literature's best-known novels. This dynamic new study of Charles Dickens will make readers re-examine his life and work in a completely different light. First, partly due to the massive digitalization of papers and letters in recent years, Helena Kelly has unearthed new material about Dickens that simply wasn't available to his earlier biographers. Second, in an astonishing piece of archival detective work, she has traced and then joined the dots on revelatory new details about his mental and physical health that, as the reader will discover, had a strong bearing on both his writing and his life and eventual death. Together these have allowed her to come up with a striking hypothesis that the version of his life that Dickens chose to share with his public--both during his lifetime and from beyond the grave in the authorized biography published shortly after his death--was an elaborate exercise in reputation management. Many of the supposed formative events in his life--such as the twelve-year-old Dickens going to work in a blacking factory--may not have been quite as honestly-related as we have been led to believe"-- Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 823.8 Dickens Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Dickens Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 823.8 Dickens Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList
