B. Shelley, and Mary Shelley. Stylistically, the authentication of Dickens’s Romantic inheritance and eventual bequest, as Cook persuasively shows, is affirmed by a commitment to poetic prose and symbol as a unifying structuring principle in Dickens’s writing. Cook’s original account of Dickens marks a timely critical intervention that will be of interest to scholars and students alike of the discrete, but inter-related, fields of study concerned with Romanticism, Victorianism, Romantic legacies, and the Long Nineteenth Century.”  \n—Mark Sandy, Professor of English Studies, Durham University, UK  \nPeter Cook  \nThe Romantic Legacy of Charles Dickens  \nPeter Cook  \nAnglia Ruskin University Cambridge, UK  \nISBN 978-3-319-96790-5 ISBN 978-3-319-96791-2 (eBook)  \n[https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96791-2](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-96791-2)  \nLibrary of Congress Control Number: 2018949625  \n© The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG, part of Springer Nature 2018  \nThis work is subject to copyright.

John Gardner, Valerie Purton, Rohan McWilliam, Lizzie Ludlow, Sarah Annes Brown and Christine L. Corton all devoted time to reading drafts of the chapters and offering help and encouragement. Val also helped me define my intentions and shape the structure, and John showed me how it could be completed. I am deeply grateful to them all.  \nFriends and colleagues at the Cambridge branch of the Charles Dickens Fellowship, and particularly Rick Allen, have offered stimulus and insight. I am also grateful to staff at Anglia Ruskin University Library, the British Library, and the University of Cambridge Library for their unfailing help and courtesy.  \nMy family, Samya, Nabil and Zeina, have lived with Dickens and the Romantics for the past five years with grace, humour and tolerance—thank you!  \ncontents  \n1 Introduction 1  \nLiterary Context 2  \nA Methodology of Influence, Ecology and Things 8  \nCritical Context 11  \nMethod, Design and Structure 16  \nBibliography 25","cbCaiuEh4XYIq1ZA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuEh4XYIq1ZA","pdf",3260102,284,"English","# Acknowledgements\n# contents\n## 1 Introduction\n## 2 Childhood\n## 3 Time\n## 4 Progress\n## 5 Outsiders\n## 6 Conclusion\n## Index","[{\"question\":\"What central Romanticist claim does the book examine about Dickens?\",\"answer\":\"It argues for Dickens’s anti-romantic claims being reconsidered and for his paradoxical commitment to High Romantic ideals.\"},{\"question\":\"Which stylistic principle is presented as a unifying structure in Dickens’s writing?\",\"answer\":\"Poetic prose and symbol are presented as a unifying structuring principle.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the book’s material organized?\",\"answer\":\"It moves through sections on Introduction, Childhood, Time, Progress, Outsiders, and a concluding chapter, supported by bibliographies and an index.\"}]","The Romantic Legacy of Charles Dickens - Peter Cook - Acknowledgements and Contents | PDF",1789986486,437]
