The importance of understanding Dickens s religion to obtain
a full appreciation of his achievement has long been admitted;
but this is the first critical study of the interaction between
Dickens s religious beliefs and his creative imagination
throughout his career.
The novelist s religious beliefs are a pervasive and deeply felt
presence in his works even if they are not always clearly
thought out or expressed. Too discreet and humane to be as
explicit, or as dull, as most of the professedly religious
novelists of his time. Dickens nevertheless suggests in his own
way a liberal Protestant belief, shot through with Romantic,
transcendental yearnings, which undoubtedly appealed to a
very wide range of readers. Dickens s religion is shown to be
that of a great popular writer, who created a unique kind of
fiction, and a unique relationship with his readers, by the
absorption and transformation of less respectable
contemporary forms, from fairy-tale and German romance to
tract and print
Professor Welder s thoroughly researched and lively book
provides students of Dickens and the Victorian period with an
original perspective on the novelist s methods and attitudes.
He offers a judicious and informed exploration of Dickens s
obsessive themes, from the fall of innocence in Pickwick
Papers, to the search for a religious answer in Little
Dorrit.
Each chapter focuses upon the striking congruences revealed
between individual novels, or groups of novels, and particular
religious themes. The views expressed in Dickens s lesser
fiction and non-fiction are drawn on throughout, as are those
in the influential contemporary press
Dennis WaMer js Professor of Literature at the Open
University and chaired the university s Nineteenth Century
Novel course. He has published widely on 19th and 20th
century literature, including the best-selling Literature in the
Modern World.
