Beskrivning
This volume of essays provides a selection of leading contemporary scholarship which situates Dickens in a global perspective. The articles address four main areas: Dickens's reception outside Britain and North America; his intertextual relations with and influence upon writers from different parts of the world; Dickens as traveller; and the presence throughout his fiction and journalism of subjects, such as race and empire, that extend beyond the national contexts in which his work is usually considered. Written by leading researchers from diverse countries and cultures, this is an indispensable reference work in the field of Dickens studies.

Recensioner i media

’While those essays that offer a survey or overview of Dickens’s presence and reception in different countries make a valuable contribution to our general understanding of Dickens’s presence in different cultural contexts, it is the pieces that closely look into specific acts of cross-cultural encounters against a particular historic moment that best reveal the subtleness of crosscultural interactions and the creativity that often stem from them.’ Dickens Quarterly
