    Description

    Oliver Twist. A Christmas Carol. David Copperfield. Bleak House. A Tale of Two Cities. Great Expectations. The novels of Charles Dickens (1812-1870) read like a "who's who" of canonical works. Yet less well known is the fact that Dickens himself was something of a created character, a larger-than-life figure who lived through his art and pursued his many passions with a theatrical zeal that could have belonged to one of his famous protagonists.

    Largely self-taught, with little formal education, Dickens was catapulted to fame at the age of 24 with the publication of The Pickwick Papers in 1836. For the next 30 years, he wrote a prodigious number of novels, short stories, essays and other works while simultaneously campaigning for a variety of social reforms. As Simply Dickens colorfully describes, in life and in art Dickens threw himself into everything he undertook, from taking on the personalities of his characters as he wrote, to pursuing such causes as children's rights and universal education.

    While some authors have depicted Dickens as a tormented soul or cruel misogynist who compromised his work by pandering to a wide audience, Simply Dickens convincingly shows him as a purposeful, supremely talented, and versatile personality whose popular appeal was central to his achievement.

    Simply Dickens

    Simply Dickens
    : Paul Schlicke

    A very interesting biography of Charles Dickens. I learned a few new things from this book.


    The narration was well done, but a little bland. Joff Manning reads well.

    Boring

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    A time waster. Doesn't hold my interest.

    What was most disappointing about Paul Schlicke’s story?

    Too many dry facts. Needs more of a story to it.

    Did the narration match the pace of the story?

    Yes but needed more enthusiasm.

    Was Simply Dickens worth the listening time?

    No. I couldn't finish it.
