Recensioner i media

'an excellent addition to Palgrave's Analysing Texts series ... this is a very user-friendly book. Tredell is rightly enthusiastic about Dickens and brings this enthusiasm to bear on key themes and tropes in Dickens's work ... as a concise guide to these novels, and their author, this would take some beating.' - Adam Hansen, Northumbria University, in The Literary London Journal, Volume 12 Number 1-2 (Spring/Autumn 2015)
