A richly detailed biographical work, Charles by Victoria Lincoln presents a penetrating portrait of Charles Dickens, one of the most celebrated and complex literary figures of the Victorian era. Lincoln draws on deep research and psychological insight to uncover the private man behind the public genius, chronicling the tensions between Dickens's championing of the poor and his often difficult personal relationships. Written with a novelist's flair — Lincoln was herself an accomplished fiction writer — the narrative illuminates the contradictions of a man whose empathy on the page was sometimes at odds with his conduct in life. The result is a compelling, intimate study that argues for a more nuanced understanding of Dickens, one that neither idolizes nor dismisses him, but renders him fully, fascinatingly human.
