tells
the story of how an
ambitious young Londoner became England s
greatest novelist. In following the twists and turns
of Charles Dickens s early career, Robert Douglas-
Fairhurst examines a remarkable double transfor¬
mation: in reinventing himself, Dickens reinvented
the form of the novel. It was a highstakes gamble,
and Dickens never forgot how differently things
could have turned out. Like the hero of Dombey
and Son, he remained haunted by what might
have been, and what was not.
In his own lifetime, Dickens was without rivals.
He styled himself simply The Inimitable. But
he was not always confident about his standing
in the world. From his traumatized childhood to
the suicide of his first collaborator and the sud¬
den death of the woman who had a good claim
to being the love of his life, Dickens faced power¬
ful obstacles. Before settling on the profession of
novelist, he tried his hand at the law and journal¬
ism, considered a career in acting, and even con¬
templated emigrating to the West Indies. Yet with
The Pickwick Papers, Oliver Twist, and a ground¬
breaking series of plays, sketches, and articles, he
succeeded in turning every potential breakdown
into a breakthrough.
Douglas-Fairhurst s provocative new biogra¬
phy, focused on the
1
8
30s, portrays a restless and
uncertain Dickens who could not decide on the
career path he should take and would never feel
secure in his considerable achievements.
Robert Douglas-Fairhurst is Fellow and Tutor,
Magdalen College, Oxford, author of Victorian
Afterlives: The Shaping of Influence in Nineteenth-
Century Literature, and editor of London Labour
and the London Poor: A Selected Edition.
