Who's Who in Dickens

Who's Who in Dickens is an accessible guide to the many characters in Charles Dickens' fiction. Dickens' characters have become a vital part of our cultural heritage--Scrooge has become a by-word for stinginess, Uriah Heap for unctuousness. From the much loved Oliver Twist to the fact-grubbing Mr Gradgrind, the obstinate Martin Chuzzlewit to the embittered Miss Haversham, this book covers the famous and lesser known characters in Dickens. Providing an easy-to-use A-Z layout, physical and psychological profiles of the characters, a critical look at the characters by past and present commentators, and bibliographical references, Who's Who in Dickens is an essential guide for all who read and love the work of Charles Dickens.
