"Charles Dickens and Other Victorians" by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch is a collection of literary analyses and lectures written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the works and influence of key Victorian authors, with a primary emphasis on Charles Dickens, while also exploring other notable writers from that era. Through a series of lectures, Quiller-Couch aims to evaluate the significance of these authors in the context of their time, unraveling their thematic concerns and literary achievements. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage by reflecting on Westminster Hall, a place marked by significant historical events, paralleling it with the literary legacy left by Charles Dickens. He presents a vivid portrait of Dickens as a youthful writer on the brink of success—filled with joy and pride at his publication. Quiller-Couch enhances the understanding of Dickens’ character and significance through anecdotes and discussions about his contemporaries, commenters on his work such as Tennyson and Carlyle, and highlights the emotional resonance Dickens had with his audience. He emphasizes the universal appeal of Dickens’ characters, his narrative style, and the cultural backdrop of the Victorian era, establishing the foundation for a deeper examination of his contributions to literature.
