Lecturer: Lillian Nayder
By the start of the Victorian era, London was home to nearly 2 million people, a number that expanded to more than 6 million by 1901, the year of Queen Victoria’s death. This immense growth made the city an astonishing study in the varieties of human experience-the perfect place for a novelist to find his voice. Charles Dickens did just that in the 1830s.
Born in 1812, Dickens spent most of his life in a rapidly expanding London. As perhaps the most lauded of Victorian writers and a perennial classroom favorite, Dickens gives us a window into the past. His fiction and journalism capture the complexities of Victorian life, while continuing to resonate with meaning today.

Late Victorians and Edwardians were obsessed with tracking down the locations-dubbed "Dickensland"-that famously featured in his novels.

Over the following century, sites connected with Dickens were demolished, relocated, and reimagined.

Spectral Dickens The uncanny forms of novelistic characterization

Free Download Alexander Bove III, "Spectral Dickens: The uncanny forms of novelistic characterization "
English | ISBN: 1526147939 | 2021 | 256 pages | PDF | 20 MB
Drawing on the recent ontological turn in critical theory, Spectral Dickens explores an aspect of literary character that is neither real nor fictional, but spectral. This work thus provides an in-depth study of the inimitable characters populating Dickens’ illustrated novels using three hauntological concepts: the Freudian uncanny, Derridean spectrality, and the Lacanian real. Thus, while the current discourse on character studies, which revolves around values like realism, depth, and lifelikeness, tends to see characters as mimetic of persons, this book invents new critical concepts to account for non-mimetic forms of characterization. These spectral forms bring to light the important influence of developments in nineteenth-century visual culture, such as the lithography and caricature of Daumier and J.J. Grandville. The spectrality of novelistic characters developed here paves the way for a new understanding of fictional characters in general.
