Omschrijving
A study of the fiction of Charles Dickens that traces the intersections between nineteenth-century literature and Victorian psychology and theories of the mind.
This, a serious, hard-working and often subtle study.
In this book, Stolte demonstrates that Charles Dickens had read widely and was knowledgeable about the intellectual debates of his time concerning, especially, psychology... It should interest students of Dickens and scholars interested in Victorian literature, history, and culture more generally.
Stolte is keen to steer his reader's attention towards discussions surrounding the theories of the soul,...Stolte urges future critics in the field to revisit the topic with the sincerity with which those in the nineteenth century treated the subject.
Tyson Stolte is an Associate Professor of English at New Mexico State University. He has published articles on Dickens, Victorian psychology, Robert Browning, Edward FitzGerald, and thermodynamics.
