Parentage and inheritance in the novels of Charles Dickens
Sadrin, Anny, 1935-2010
Books
Dickens' plots, often dismissed as conventional or cheaply sensational, are here considered as the embodiment of Dickens' preoccupation with rituals of succession. Sadrin shows how the simple pattern of quest for father develops in Dickens' later novels into an extended exploration of the triple inheritance of looks, name and property.
