Oxford Reader's Companion to Dickens
A reference book organized as an alphabetical tour through Charles Dickens's life, works, and the London he both documented and invented. Edited by Paul Schlicke with contributions from dozens of scholars, it includes entries on publishing history, illustration, periodicals, social context, and the complete cast of characters. There are chronologies, maps, a bibliography, and enough marginal apparatus to answer most questions that arise while reading Bleak House at midnight. The volume is large because it needs to be; this is not a pocket guide. Ideal reader: the Dickens reader who keeps a second bookmark for the notes, or the student trying to remember whether Krook died by spontaneous combustion.
