Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the works of four notable English humorists who wrote in the 19th century. The author holds that whilst Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, George Eliot and Thomas Carlyle each made their own unique contribution to English literature during the Victorian era, they can each be seen as typifying an element of the broader democratic spirit of the age. Dickens, the author argues, embodied the democratization of the novel in the Victorian era, opening the genre to a wider audience, and grounding his works in an intimate understanding of the everyday. Thackeray is seen as the philosopher, an observer of the passions and their moral implications, whilst George Eliot's role as poet is demonstrated by her ability to express the beauty of the everyday, and her spiritual insights into the human condition. Finally, Thomas Carlyle's work is seen as a form of prophecy, with the author seeing and commenting upon the changes coming over society as the 19th century progressed, and acting as a stern voice of moral conscience for his time. These four towering figures of English literature each brought their own perspective and artistry to the novel, and this book considers the substantial contribution of each to the genre and the broader literary landscape of the time.
