I’ll get out.” “You’ll have, sir,” said the guard, glistening with drops of wet, and looking at the tearful face of his watch by the light of his lantern as the traveller descended, “three minutes here.” “More, I think.—For I am not going on.” “Thought you had a through ticket, sir?” “So I have, but I shall sacrifice the rest of it. I want my luggage.” “Please to come to the van and point it out, sir. Be good enough to look very sharp, sir. Not a moment to spare.” The guard hurried to the luggage van, and the traveller hurried after him. The guard got into it, and the traveller looked into it. “Those two large black portmanteaus in the corner where your light shines. Those are mine.” “Name upon ’em, sir?” “Barbox Brothers.” “Stand clear, sir, if you please. One. Two. Right!” Lamp waved. Signal lights ahead already changing. Shriek from engine. Train gone. “Mugby Junction!” said the traveller, pulling up the woollen muffler round his throat with both hands.

  • Dickens by Numbers: the Christmas Numbers of Household Words and All the Year Round
    Dickens by Numbers: the Christmas Numbers of Household Words and All the Year Round Aine Helen McNicholas PhD University of York English May 2015 Abstract This thesis examines the short fiction that makes up the annual Christmas Numbers of Dickens’s journals, Household Words and All the Year Round. Through close reading and with reference to Dickens’s letters, contemporary reviews, and the work of his contributors, this thesis contends that the Christmas Numbers are one of the most remarkable and overlooked bodies of work of the second half of the nineteenth century. Dickens’s short fictions rarely receive sustained or close attention, despite the continuing commitment by critics to bring the whole range of Dickens’s career into focus, from his sketches and journalism, to his late public readings. Through readings of selected texts, this thesis will show that Dickens’s Christmas Number stories are particularly powerful and experimental examples of some of the deepest and most recurrent concerns of his work. They include, for example, three of his four uses of a child narrator and one of his few female narrators, and are concerned with childhood, memory, and the socially marginal figures and distinctive voices that are so characteristic of his longer work. But, crucially, they also go further than his longer work to thematise the very questions raised by their production, including anonymity, authorship, collaboration, and annual return. This thesis takes Dickens’s works as its primary focus, but it will also draw throughout on the work of his contributors, which appeared alongside Dickens’s stories in these Christmas issues.

    Alessandro Vescovi What Dickens (and His Readers) Knew: An Experiment in Knowledge Criticism 1. Knowledge Criticism Over the last thirty years or so, original Dickens criticism has sprung from two opposite critical attitudes: one that I would call intra-Dickensian and the other extra-Dickensian. The for- mer, pursued by scholars philologically and biographically bent, consists in discovering as many details as possible about the au- thor and his subject matters in order to elucidate his novels by means of a thorough knowledge of his times. The extra- Dickensian approach, on the other hand, consists in wandering away from Dickens as we know him, and his world as we know it, in order to find new insights, often relying on concepts and knowledge that have become available after the writer’s death. The intra-Dickensian scholarship has recently seen the comple- tion of Dickens’s epistolary, Slater’s and Drew’s editions of his journalist work and a number of biographies – among which the latest again by Michael Slater is particularly outstanding. This approach is based on the notion that the writings of a novelist are best elucidated by the facts of his life and especially by his other writings, both private and public. Now we can read about Nancy knowing that her creator would later patronise the house for fallen women or about Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce knowing that the same had lost an incredible amount of money in a suit against someone who had published a pirate edition of Christ- mas Carol. 54 Alessandro Vescovi The extra-Dickensian approach has also proved very fecund.

  • Dickens Brochure
    Message from John ne of the many benefits that came to us as students at the University of Oklahoma and Mary Nichols during the 1930s was a lasting appreciation for the library. It was a wonderful place, not as large then as now, but the library was still the most impressive building on campus. Its rich wood paneling, cathedral-like reading room, its stillness, and what seemed like acres of books left an impression on even the most impervious undergraduates. Little did we suspect that one day we would come to appreciate this great OOklahoma resource even more. Even as students we sensed that the University Library was a focal point on campus. We quickly learned that the study and research that went on inside was important and critical to the success of both faculty and students. After graduation, reading and enjoyment of books, especially great literature, continued to be important to us and became one of our lifelong pastimes. We have benefited greatly from our past association with the University of Oklahoma Libraries and it is now our sincere hope that we might share our enjoyment of books with others. It gives us great pleasure to make this collection of Charles Dickens’ works available at the University of Oklahoma Libraries. “Even as As alumni of this great university, we also take pride in the knowledge that the library remains at the students center of campus activity. It is gratifying to know that in this electronic age, university faculty and students still we sensed that find the library a useful place for study and recreation.

  • Dickens and the Moving Age Transcript
    Dickens and the Moving Age Transcript Date: Monday, 13 November 2006 - 12:00AM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall DICKENS AND ‘THE MOVING AGE’ Dr Tony Williams On 9 June 1865 Charles Dickens had been returning from France on the tidal express which had left Paris at 7 a.m. He had taken the cross-channel ferry at Boulogne, and resumed the train journey at Folkestone at 2.38 p.m. on its way to Charing Cross. Work was being undertaken on the line between Staplehurst and Headcorn, on the bridge over the River Beult, and rails had been removed. The foreman in charge of the work had consulted the wrong timetable and was not expecting a train for another two hours. The train had been travelling at fifty miles per hour on a downward gradient, and the sight of the danger signal (a man waving a red flag some 500 yards from the site of the work) succeeded in slowing it to a speed of twenty to thirty mph. The train jumped the 42-foot gap, swerved off the track and broke in two. Seven carriages plunged into the river; the others remained poised over the gap. There were 110 passengers, of whom ten were killed and 14 badly injured. Dickens worked hard to tend the injured and dying, and wrote fully about his anger at the incompetence causing the accident. Dickens had been accompanied by Ellen Ternan, with whom he had been conducting a very close liaison since first meeting her in 1857 (they were frequent travellers to France together), and her mother.

  • Imagistic Patterns in Charles Dickens
    This dissertation has been microlilmed exactly as received n0 bo—oU4o N E W C O M B , Mildred Elizabeth, 1914- IMAGISTIC PATTERNS IN CHARLES DICKENS. The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1967 Language and Literature, general University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan © Copyright by Mildred Elizabeth Newcomb 1968 IMAGISTIC PATTERNS IN CHARLES DICKENS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mildred Elizabeth Newcomb, B.A., M.A. ****** The Ohio State University 1967 Approved by Adviser Department of English PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The subject of this study was originally suggested to me by my adviser, Dr. Richard D. Altick. It has developed in directions which neither of us, I think, anticipated, departing from the conventional concept of style to consider that borderland area where content and form merge to the confusion of the analysts trying to resolve the dualism. As in the similar philosophical problem of mind and matter, some analysts have held rigidly to the distinctions between the two, while others have said that they cannot be separated, that content jLs form and vice versa. The point of view which I found most convincing underlies the helpful analyses and discussions of J. Middleton Murry, Richard Ohmann, Robert Estrich and Hans Sperber. This view postulates a substantive aspect of style which is different from the general content or subject matter of the piece of writing. Substantive in that it contains sense data and attitudes, it is yet part of one’s manner or mode of looking at and interpreting experi­ ence: part, that is, of one’s style.
