Abstract
Review in English Studies 102.4 (2021), p. 494: "Litvack draws on a range of previously unpublished archival material to offer a revisionist account of the behind-the-scenes processes that led to Dickens’s burial in Westminster Abbey. This research will be of particular moment to scholars interested in the construction of Dickens as a national icon, as it tracks the negotiation between action taken on behalf of a national institution, and individual preferences and relationships." Review in Dickens Quarterly 37 (2020), p. 195: "This is a valuable acquisition for scholars wishing to rethink the boundaries of their own research methodologies and focuses. Dickens’s readers will appreciate the indication this collection gives that more precise history of the author and his increasingly interactive corpus are both waiting to be developed and explored in the twenty-first century."
