The Scriptures of Charles Dickens - Novels of Ideology, Novels of the Self

Riassunto

Whilst the 'God is dead' message was ringing throughout Europe, Dickens, ever the Protestant, centred his quest for order and value in individuals rather than in institutions like the Catholic Church. This study explores his writings with regard to man's place in what was becoming a mechanistic universe.
