—Here is the definitive biography of Charles Dickens. Drawing on thousands of letters, many still unpublished, Edgar Johnson depicts not only Charles Dickens but also the colorful world in which he lived. William Makepeace Thackeray, Benjamin Disraeli, Thomas Carlyle, Alfred Tennyson, Edgar Allan Poe, George Eliot, and even Queen Victoria are among the players in the drama of Dickens's life - a drama in which himself appears as one of the most complex figures of his time, a man whose political and social crusades (against illiteracy, capital punishment, unjust penal systems, and child abuse) are as compelling as his literary achievements.

Charles Dickens was a titan of literature whose prodigious talents and vitality made his life one long--if not always happy--adventure. He was himself a Dickens character, and his world was both glittering and wrenchingly sad, immensely comic and often tragic. Many of his adventures were as ludicrous and painful as those of Pickwick, David Copperfield, or Pip. He was ambitious, and yet few more altruistic men have ever lived; proud, yet in the truest sense of the term a humble person
