Description
Summary:[...] Colledge examines Dickens's textual positions on Christian concepts of Atonement, Creation, Death, Deity, Heaven, Hell, Judgement, Providence, Salvation, and Sin, methodically comparing them to clerical and lay positions within Victorian Anglican, Evangelical, Unitarian, and Quaker traditions. [...] utilising these textual positions as an 'index' of Dickens's personal Christian world-view, he compares them to Dickens's religious views expressed throughout his life within his novels, Christmas books, journalism, letters, speeches, and epitaphs.
