This is the first English translation of Le Roman social en Angleterre by Louis Cazamian, which is widely recognized as the classic survey of Victorian social fiction. Starting from the eighteenth century, Cazamian traces the ways in which rationalism and romanticism intertwined and competed, particularly in relation to radical political philosophy. He shows how industrialization polarized England, setting the industrial bourgeoisie in the van of progress in the first decades of the nineteenth century, until their political and economic triumph stirred up a passionate reaction against them. This reaction propelled novelists such as Charles Dickens who lies at the centre of his discussion. For this translation Martin Fido has provided a substantial foreword, and has revised and completed the bibliographical references and corrected the footnotes to assist the present-day reader.

Although enjoyed my many as a masterpiece of Dickens’ comic writing, Martin Chuzzlewit has long been underrated by professional critics. This volume redresses the balance by devoting its attention to a full critical discussion of the novel and by including a full survey of the critical positions held in the past. As well as discussing the themes of selfishness and hypocrisy, the history of the text is also explored, as is the complex relationship between Dickens and the United States which played a great part in the development of the novel and exerted considerable influence on it early reception.

Written deliberately to increase the circulation of Dickens's weekly magazine, "Household Words, Hard Times" was a huge and instantaneous success upon publication in 1854. Yet this novel is not the cheerful celebration of Victorian life one might have expected from the beloved author of "The Pickwick Papers" and "The Old Curiosity Shop," Compressed, stark, allegorical, it is a bitter expose of capitalist exploitation during the industrial revolution-and a fierce denunciation of the philosophy of materialism, which threatens the human imagination in all times and places. With a typically unforgettable cast of characters-including the heartless fact-worshipper Mr. Gradgrind, the warmly endearing Sissy Jupe, and the eternally noble Stephen Blackpool-"Hard Times" carries a uniquely powerful message and remains one of the most widely read of Dickens's major novels.

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the timeOliver Twist is one of the most famous novels of universal literature. It is the best known novel by the English writer Charles Dickens. It was written between 1837 and 1839 and a picture of English society from the Victorian era is presented there. Dickens denounces in this work the precarious situation of the orphanages and the mistreatment that was given to those welcomed in them, the crime and marginality of London and the sad role of the judicial system, which does not hesitate to severely punish a poor boy.Oliver, since the death of his mother, is a small orphan who goes through a thousand and one hardships. Dispossessed of his social status at birth he finds her at the end of Mr. Bronlow's hand, and thanks to a medallion of his mother. Oliver suffers the ill-treatment in the hospice that welcomed him at his birth, until he escapes his influence and his last job as a gravedigger's assistant, to march towards the city from which he has heard wonders. The boy arrives in the city, a succession of labyrinthine streets and alleys, and falls directly into the hands of Fagin and his gang of teenage criminals. There he begins in the arts of robbery and street crime, he meets Nancy, who as a part of the women of the Victorian era makes a living on the street. Nancy helps Fagin to recover Oliver, although at the end of the novel we are witnesses of his regret. The happy ending is the classic of any novel in which the character has to save a thousand and one obstacles.

First published in 1987. Many Victorian novels that considered social problems made extensive use of contemporary source material for their descriptions. This book aims to provide a greater acquaintance with this non-literary material — illustrating and exemplifying issues that the authors treated imaginatively. The material is divided into parts dealing with: the industrial north of England, London and the agricultural poor. Extracts from writings that bear directly on the fiction of writers like Dickens and Gaskell are featured, as are Government Blue Books and newspaper reports and articles. This volume also contains articles by Dickens and others, from his magazine, Household Words.
