Description
This lively and carefully considered survey details scholarly writings on Dickens and gender published between 1992 and 2008. Cole analyzes nearly 200 books and essays to give students and advanced researchers a sense of the range, richness, and complexity of the work being done in this vital field. Introduced with an essay situating work on Dickens in the context of contemporary gender studies in general, Cole's survey concludes with suggestions for areas still in need of further exploration.
