Dickens After Dickens
A collection of essays on the lasting influence of Dickens and the nature of his legacy across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. It unearths the surprising resonances that Dickens has had and continues to have, arguing that his impact can be seen in mainstream cultural phenomena such as HBO’s TV series The Wire and Donna Tartt’s novel The Goldfinch, as well as in diverse areas such as Norwegian literature, video games and neo-Victorian fiction.
The cover hints at these surprising layers beneath our everyday perception of Dickens.
The spine, dust jacket and back cover also have to tie in with the cover design.
