This book explores the relationship between Dickens and canonical Romantic authors Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley, and Keats. Addressing a significant gap in Dickens studies, four topics are identified Childhood, Time, Progress, and Outsiders, which together constitute the main aspects of Dickenss debt to the Romantics. Through close readings of key Romantic texts, and eight of Dickenss novels, Peter Cook investigates how Dickens utilizes Romantic tropes to express his responses to the exponential growth of postrevolutionary industrial, technological culture and its effects on personal life and relationships. In this close study of Dickensian Romanticism, Cook demonstrates the enduring relevance of Dickens and the Romantics to contemporary culture.
