The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

Fascinated by them unable to ignore them and imaginatively stimulated by them Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city so too did they populate his fiction journalism and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines Beryl Gray shows that dogs real and invented were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends family and fellow writers and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press newspapers and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city the treatment of animals in literature and art and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.
