Abstract

Abstract:

This article brings a creative–critical approach to bear on my long, and evolving, relationship with Dickens. Through examining the tenacious grip that Dickens has had on my imaginative, emotional, and professional lives, I explore the conundrum of continuing to admire a writer whose ubiquity, personal history, and even style can sometimes cause embarrassment to contemporary publics. In the face of such feelings, and my ambivalence about literary hero-worship, I make a case for Dickens’s unique power and lasting relevance. I explore how Dickens has shaped my creative imagination, education, and work as a university lecturer, and how his writing continues to impact on the lives of friends, family, and students. The article takes the form of a creative–critical personal essay, combining autobiographical accounts of growing up in Dickens’s Kent, and of engaging with Great Expectations at different life stages, with the scholarly perspectives that underpin my publications and university teaching.

狄更斯
摘要:这篇文章以创作批判的方法来探讨我与狄更斯的长期和不断发展的关系。通过研究狄更斯对我的想象力、情感和职业生活的顽强影响,我探讨了继续崇拜一位作家的难题,因为他的无处不在、个人经历甚至风格有时会让当代公众感到尴尬。面对这样的感受,以及我对文学英雄崇拜的矛盾心理,我为狄更斯的独特力量和持久相关性进行了论证。我探讨了狄更斯如何影响了我的创造性想象、教育和大学讲师的工作,以及他的写作如何继续影响着朋友、家人和学生的生活。文章采用了个人创作评论文章的形式,将我在狄更斯笔下的肯特郡成长以及在不同人生阶段与《远大前程》接触的自传体经历,与支撑我的出版物和大学教学的学术观点相结合。
