Appreciations and criticisms of the works of charles dickens

Published in 1911, here is a gathering of the prefaces that Chesterton wrote for more than twenty of Dickens's novels. With quintessential Chesterton wit, the chapters display his supreme admiration for Dickens. He writes: Dickens must definitely be considered in light of the changes which his soul foresaw. Thackeray has become classical; Dickens has done more; he has remained modern … he belongs to the times since his death.

  • "The great English writer G.K. Chesterton gives his appraisal of the work of another titan of English letters, Charles Dickens."
  • "Born in London, Chesterton was educated at St. Paul's, but never went to college. He went to art school. In 1900, he was asked to contribute a few magazine articles on art criticism, and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote a hundred books, contributions to 200 more, hundreds of poems, including the epic Ballad of the White Horse, five plays, five novels, and some two hundred short stories, including a popular series featuring the priest-detective, Father Brown. In spite of his literary accomplishments, he considered himself primarily a journalis."@en
