This work opens with a general introduction to Dickens in the context of his times, stressing the public themes of the novel and its status as experimental fiction. Other chapters include a survey of its major characters and aspects of Dickens's characterization; the pleasures of serial reading; an exploration of Dickens's craft and the status of this novel as an experimental fiction; detailed analysis of key passages; a discussion of Dickens and 'the woman question', and a survey of critical reception of what many regard as Dickens's greatest novel.
