Charles Dickens and His Girl Heroines

A common theme amongst Dickens biographers is if you get to know Dickens’ fictional characters, you will get to know the author himself. For those who already know and love their Dickensian characters, especially the female ones, this volume is not only a useful study of the author's most beloved heroines, but also a study of the multifaceted character and genius of the author himself. Biographer Belle Moses’s skillfully researched text draws the connections between Dickens’ fictional heroines and real life personages from different periods of Charles Dickens’ life.
