Dickensian Digressions
Author: Peter Rowland
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Two major Dickens studies, each of them breaking fresh ground, vie for attention in this absorbing volume. The first explores the extent to which Charles Dickens inherited the mantle of Charles Lamb. It demonstrates how heavily, as a 'hunter', he drew upon his predecessor's work for inspiration, adopting Elia's themes and mannerisms and virtually taking his place on the English literary scene -- even to the extent of inheriting John Forster as his closest friend and confidant. Charles the Second followed very closely in the footsteps of Charles the First in every respect, for Lamb's swansong, The Last Essays of Elia, appeared at the beginning of 1833 and the very first sketch emanating from Boz appeared at the end of that year. Lamb's pervasive influence is detected not only in the Sketches and Pickwick Papers but also in later novels such as David Copperfield and Our Mutual Friend, as well as the peregrinations of The Uncommercial Traveller. (And it is shown how the opening scene of Great Expectations was inspired by a chapter in Mrs Leicester's School, written by Lamb's sister). The second major study explores the strained relationship between Dickens, the leading novelist of the day, and T.B. Macaulay, the leading historian of the day. It pinpoints the latent simmering animosity and tensions between the two men over a period of twenty-five years and the extent to which their views differed on current issues, as well as celebrating the few occasions on which they were able to join in common cause. (Carlyle, the favorite historian of Dickens, and Thackeray, a close friend of Macaulay, have peripheral parts to play in this study.) Other research topics include a search for Bob Fagin, the prototype (in nomenclature terms) of the villainous Jew in Oliver Twist; the revelation of a public letter addressed to Maria Beadnell, Dickens's first love, advising her to keep her distance, and reflections on how H.G. Wells blatantly managed to produce an up-dated version of David Copperfield which went undetected. Research is dvoted to the extent to which Dickens truly believed in ghosts and the manner in which his spirit apparently contacted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle... in order to explain how The Mystery of Edwin Drood was intended to end. (In which connection, the extent to which Sherlock Holmes became involved in the case is examined -- and there is also a 'Droodian fragment' from an unexpected source to take into account, fully the equal of the celebrated 'Sapsea fragment'!) Peter Rowland is wellknown in the field of Dickens studies. He is in the unique position of having, in effect, completed both the books which Dickens left unfinished -- his autobiography (published as My Early Times, 1988 and 1997) and his final novel (published as The Disappearance of Edwin Drood, 1991). His most recent work has been a biography of 'Lanoe Falconer' (Mary Elizabeth Hawker), Academica Press, LLC 2009.

The Long Spring
Author: Laurence Rose
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472936701
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
One man tracks the arrival of spring north through Europe from southern Spain to the Arctic Circle. Exploring Europe's remarkable heritage of exceptional places and the wildlife, traditions and people associated with them, in February 2016 Laurence Rose crossed the Mediterranean from North Africa and set off on a series of journeys northwards towards the Arctic coast of Norway, all the while keeping pace with the arrival of spring. Like a modern-day pilgrimage, he is accompanied by fellow wayfarers, migrating swallows and cranes and later, wild swans and eagles. He witnesses the awakening of a continent from its winter slumber and encounters new behaviours, such as storks that no longer migrate, exploring how they link to climate change. From Spain, Laurence headed north through France and Britain. Crossing over to Sweden, Finland and Norway, he ended his travels four months later as the long Arctic days stretched into continuous daylight. In The Long Spring, Laurence evokes the landscapes, sounds and colours of the continent at its most vibrant. And as a lifelong naturalist, his journeys tracking the world's most significant and beautiful phenomenon – spring – were a chance to explore the past, present and future of our connections to nature, reflecting on three decades of work and travel in Europe and his own long relationship with wildlife.
