New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 184 p. The Spirit of Dickensian Style is a book that contains the analysis of certain stylisticfeatures and linguistic data of Charles Dickens's five short stories in Christmas Books (1852). The stories of Dickens were stylistically analyzed under the categories defined by Leech and Short (Style in Fiction, 1981) within four headings: grammatical analysis, lexical usage, analysis of figures of speech and of narration. As a great observer, reformist and spokesman of his age, Charles Dickens artistically combined his messages with his stylistic preferences in his masterpieces. Although 'Stylistics'is the main core of this book, the aim of The Spirit of Dickensian Style was not to arrive at totally new interpretations of Dickens's works through reducing his style to a mechanical objectivity. Rather, the aim was a literature-centered stylistic analysis to show how Charles Dickens presented his social messages related to the issues of Victorian Age.

brossura Non esiste miglior critico dickensiano del signor Chesterton: queste le parole di T.S. Eliot, alle quali negli anni sono seguite un coro unanime di entusiasti, da C.S. Lewis, al presidente Roosevelt. Chesterton ha amato Dickens fin da bambino, continuando ad attingere alle sue opere come si attinge ad una fontana di gioia costante. Diventato a sua volta una dei polemisti e scrittori più celebri del suo tempo, venne proclamato presidente della società dickensiana e realizzò una prefazione per ciascuna opera di Dickens nella celebre e popolare collana Everyman. E queste sue prefazioni, raccolte e riordinate assieme in volume, costituiscono non solo una splendida introduzione ai personaggi e ai temi del più grande scrittore dell'età vittoriana, secondo solo a Shakespeare come emblema del popolo inglese, ma anche una seria di inesauste intuizioni e affondi sul mistero della creazione artistica, sul valore dell'umorismo e della pietà, senza mai dimenticare spunti e polemiche di graffiante attualità politico-sociale. Una grande e appassionata lezione critica, capace di contagiare il lettore con la sua travolgente ammirazione per il soggetto trattato, facendogli desiderare di correre a riaprire le pagine di Oliver Twist e Canto di Natale.
