The Life and Times of Charles Dickens
Title:
The Life and Times of Charles Dickens
Watts, Alan S
$28.00

Studio Editions, London, 1991. Small scratch and chip to top right corner of dustjacket cover, otherwise good secondhand copy.

A marvelous, out of print, illustrated biography of Charles Dickens, well-reviewed and hard to find. This 144 page book is divided into three main periods, his early, middle and late life and also covers the outstanding events of his times as well as a synthesis of each of his 15 major novels, Christmas books and travel writings. It's an over-sized book, 9" x 12" and beautifully illustrated throughout in color and black and white photographs, including stills from theater & film productions, paintings, prints, engravings, antique collectibles and a variety of his book illustrations, including sketches by the famous"Phiz",(H.K. Browne), Cruickshank, Barnard, and more. The images highlight the text showing the depth of Dickens' compassion, satire and imagination bringing alive his larger than life characters and the wealth and contrasting poverty of the period. The book is fast paced and a pleasure to read, written by Alan Watts, President of the Dickens fellowship, who has written three other books on Dickens. His vast knowledge conveys his love of Dickens and all his writings.
