Seller's Description
CHARLES DICKENS: A LIFE by Claire Tomalin.
Charles Dickens: a Life is the examination of Dickens we deserve. It gives full measure to his heroic stature - his huge virtues both as a writer and as a human being - while observing his failings in both respects with an understanding but unblinking eye. Twenty years ago Claire Tomalin's award-winning The Invisible Woman convincingly traced the relationship between Dickens and Nelly Ternan in a triumph of sympathetic scholarship. Now she has written a full-scale biography worthy of Dickens's own pen: a comedy that turns to tragedy as the very qualities that made him great - his indomitable energy, boldness, imagination, showmanship and enjoyment of fame- finally destroyed him.
