The essays cover the whole range of Dickens’s writing, from Sketches by Boz through The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Separate chapters address important thematic topics: childhood, the city, and domestic ideology. Others consider formal features of the novels, including their serial publication and Dickens’s distinctive use of language. Three final chapters examine Dickens in relation to work in other media: illustration, theatre, and film. Each essay provides guidance to further reading. The volume as a whole offers a valuable introduction to Dickens for students and general readers, as well as fresh insights, informed by recent critical theory, that will be of interest to scholars and teachers of his novels.  \nCambridge Companions Online © Cambridge University Press, 2006  \nCambridge Companions Online © Cambridge University Press, 2006  \nCAMBRIDGE COMPANIONS TO LITERATURE  \nThe Cambridge Companion to Greek Tragedy  \nedited by P.
