Overview
Originally published in 1968, the main concern of this volume is Dickens' role as "entertainer". It examines the results of this role: Dickens' important contribution to the techniques of comedy and irony in prose. The social commentary and criticism which arise from a primarily comic art is emphasized and exemplified.
