Story
Using hundreds of primary sources, Charles Dickens in Love narrates the story of the most intense romances of Charles Dickens’ life and shows how his novels both testify to his own strongest affections and serve as memorials to the young women he loved all too well, if not always wisely. Charles Dickens has no rival as the most fertile creative imagination since William Shakespeare, and no one influenced his imagination more powerfully than these three women, his muses and teachers in the school of love.

Story
Filled with the twists, pathos and unusual characters that sprang from this novelist's extraordinary imagination, The Mystery of Charles Dickens looks back from the legendary writer's death to recall the key events in his life. In doing so, A.N. Wilson seeks to understand Dickens' creative genius and enduring popularity. Following his life from cradle to grave, it becomes clear that Dickens's fiction drew from his own experiences. Dickens knew first-hand the poverty and pain his characters endured, including the scandal of a failed marriage.

Story
"Dickens is the highest poetic expression of the English tradition between the heroic century of Napoleon, the glorious past, and imperialism, the dream of his future. (...) Only when one hates the hypocritical narrow-mindedness of Victorian culture from the bottom of one's soul can one appreciates with full admiration the genius of a man who compelled us to find this disgusting world of sated sluggishness interesting and almost endearing, who redeemed life's most banal prose into poetry".

Story
Unlike other great writers and artists, during his own lifetime Dickens' works enjoyed remarkable popularity and renown. In the 20th century, well after Dickens' passing, his literary genius was truly and completely appreciated by ordinary readers as well as critics and scholars. Dickens' novels, novellas, and short stories retain powerful and enduring popularity among the public, largely because Dickens connected history with the present through universal bridges.

Story
Charles Dickens needs no formal introduction, having been the most popular English writer of the 19th century and still one of the most popular writers in history today. Dickens' upbringing was a mixture of happy times and sad. These qualities eventually helped forge him into a man many regard as the greatest Victorian era novelist, perhaps in the world, and the author of some of the most remarkable fictional characters who retain tremendous staying power to this day.

Charles Dickens, oltre ad essere stato un grande romanziere, è stato anche l'attento testimone dell'avvento della polizia moderna. Risale al 1842, infatti, la nascita della prima sezione investigativa della London's Metropolitan Police. In questo scenario, di fronte ai rischi della vita notturna, Dickens ha iniziato ad interessarsi alla vita degli agenti, stringendo amicizia con molti personaggi attivi nel settore.

Story
Fra i molti articoli che Dickens pubblicò, fra il 1850 e il 1867, "La polizia segreta" è senz'altro il più curioso. Accantonando per un momento Londra, coi suoi sobborghi malfamati e i suoi detective ligi alla giustizia, Dickens ci trasporta nella Napoli di metà Ottocento, al crepuscolo del regime borbonico. Qui, con esplicita riprovazione dello stesso autore, vige un controllo spietato sulla popolazione da parte della temibile polizia segreta.

Story
Non tutti sanno che Charles Dickens è stato uno dei primi reporter di cronaca nera: fra il 1850 e il 1867, sulle pagine di Household Words e All the Year Round (le riviste da lui dirette) ha infatti firmato molti articoli incentrati sul crimine e sulla neonata figura del detective. Nel presente contributo - che ci illumina sulla percezione che un uomo del tempo poteva avere, rispetto ai fenomeni criminali - Dickens illustra il caso di due noti malviventi, mettendoli a confronto con grande scrupolo critico e anticipando molti temi chiave della successiva criminologia.

Story
Nel 1851 Charles Dickens accompagna il detective Charles Frederick Field (1805-1874) in una nottata a giro per i sobborghi londinesi. Il racconto che ne scaturisce - pubblicato sotto forma di articolo sulla rivista Household Words - è l'acuta ricostruzione dello squallore notturno di una grande metropoli. Avventurandosi fra taverne malfamate, vicoli bui e quartieri in mano alla malavita, Dickens, Field e i loro uomini toccano con mano i pericoli che si celano nelle periferie vittoriane, offrendo a chi legge l'opportunità di rivivere un'epoca remota, ma non per questo morta e sepolta.

Story
Ecco a voi un brillante resoconto fatto da Charles Dickens sul controverso personaggio di Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, pittore londinese noto a tutti per la sua vita dissoluta... Wainewright - il cui spirito da dandy verrà descritto anche da altri grandi scrittori, come Oscar Wilde - è il protagonista di un caso giudiziario eclatante, consumatosi negli anni '30 dell'Ottocento. Accusato di aver avvelenato la cognata, la suocera e uno zio, verrà incarcerato solo in seguito ad un'accusa di frode bancaria (per la quale sarà deportato nella colonia penale di Hobart, in Tasmania).

Story
Nel 1850 Charles Dickens firma ben tre articoli riguardanti la vita e il lavoro del detective (figura nuovissima, a quei tempi, risalendo la creazione del Detective Branch di Londra a solamente otto anni prima). In quell'anno, alcuni fra i maggiori investigatori inglesi accettano di incontrarsi nella redazione di Household Words, la rivista diretta dallo stesso Dickens, per rispondere alle sue domande. Fra loro, immancabilmente, anche il grande Charles Frederick Field (1805-1874), amico personale dello scrittore.

Nel 1850, appena otto anni dopo la creazione del Detective Branch di Londra, Charles Dickens dedica vari articoli al tema dell'indagine poliziesca, pubblicandoli sulle riviste Householde Words e All the Year Round (di cui è direttore). Le tecniche di investigazione dell'epoca, ancora relativamente nuove, rivelano in "Giù con la marea" una raffinatezza che dimostra l'estrema modernità della Scotland Yard del tempo.

Ispirandosi alla vicenda già narrata in "Thomas Griffiths Wainewright ovvero, Janus Weathercock, l'avvelenatore", Dickens ci porta a contatto con la spietata realtà di una mente criminale, raccontandoci l'episodio di un agente assicurativo intento ad aiutare un altro personaggio - dai contorni misteriosi - a salvare la ragazza che ama dalle grinfie di un truffatore. Pubblicato originariamente sotto forma di articolo, il resoconto mette in luce gli aspetti più inquietanti dell'Inghilterra vittoriana.
