Charles Dickens: His Tragedy and Triumph
by Edgar Johnson
Volume 1
Published 1952
From the preface:
"Charles Dickens belongs to all the world. He is a titan of literature, and his own moving life-story, with its radiances of laughter, its conquests of genius, and its dark and fateful drift toward disillusion even in the midst of universal acclaim, epitomizes hardly less powerfully than his works the mingled comedyand tragedy of the human struggle. This book is therefore addressed not only to literary scholars, but to all who find compelling the color and fullness and travail of life itself."
This vintage biography of Charles Dickens is in good condition. The elegant gray hardcover has some wear and discoloration, particularly on the spine, but would still look great displayed. The pages and texts are all nice and clean with normal here and there blemishes.
Would make a great addition to a library dedicated to literary classics!
