Dickens, Violence and the Modern State

by Jeremy Tambling , Reader Department of Comparative Literature Jeremy Tambling

๐Ÿ“– The Scoop

Drawing on the theories of Foucault, Deleuze, and others, Tambling situates Dickens within the discourses circulating in his society and presents the author as a modernist, forcing repressed areas of Victorian existence (repressed women, colonized subjects, the working class, the criminal "other") into the open to demonstrate power--but then violently recoiling from them in an attitude of disgust. He focuses on Great Expectations, Dombey and Son, Bleak House, and Little Dorrit, with additional discussion of Barnaby Rudge, A Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist, Edwin Drood, and Our Mutual Friend.
