Description

From today�s perspective, Charles Dickens seems to continue a British tradition in which dynamism and movement are central. This serves as a starting point for a bicentenary conference held by the English Department of Leipzig University in October 2012. The contributions united in this volume cover the three categories of geography, adaptation and reception of Dickens� works. Whether in a physical, imaginary or virtual sense, notions of space, time and change are fundamental to all of these fields. They inform both Dickens� narrative and his biography, in which acts of movement, exchange and transformation are perpetually performed. Articles discuss Dickens� travels in London and abroad, but also Chesterton�s Dickens or his reception in Australia and New Zealand.Typham this is the title: Dickens on the Move Travels and Transformations 1st Edition
