warrants more attention than it receives here. That mystery derives in large part from the arcane networks in which each character forms a central node, a mystery which is compounded by professional decorums of gentlemanly reserve – a decorum in keeping with the role of “confidential clerk.” That mystery in turn amplifies the anxieties associated with the circulation of money and credit, as worries about far-reaching, seemingly impersonal financial markets come to be incarnated in the volatility of deeply personal relationships. Such mystery may or may not be charged with transgressive sexuality, as it clearly is (very differently) in Heep and Carker, but not at all clearly in Lorry and Harmon. The search for the erotically “queer,” unfortunately, tends to cloud both these distinctions and the larger structural importance of the characters, both within the financial networks they represent and within the novels where they appear. Dobbins does helpfully alert us to the affective complexity of finance in Dickens’s novels, and thereby enriches a topic that has long been recognized as a central concern of his fiction. But her study also brings home how very elusive the queer can be.

J. Adams
biblical figures such as Jacob and Jonah, and eventually even ventriloquizes Jesus to paradoxically teach his readers a philosophy of paganism and pantheism. Considering the fact that Goethe’s Italian Journey is commonly hailed as the precursor of Wagner’s and Nietzsche’s radical aestheticism, it is surprising to see that Goethe makes ample use of biblical patterns and at one point, around Easter, is not even loath to see himself transfigured like Christ who is not recognized by his disciples at Emmaus. By the end of this slim volume, the reader is at a loss to find a reliable answer to the question of what induces an author to re-publish essays on Goethe and Dickens in German with a small, marginalized sub-publisher in Baden-Baden. Despite the tendency of some of the essays to be rather long-winded, they are refreshingly knowledgeable and thought-provoking, and thus it might have been more sensible if the author had taken the time to re-arrange the book, to put some effort into editorial updating and to have shaped it into an English publication for the benefit of a wider international audience. Dickens’s hitherto neglected German side thus remains a topic that is still waiting for a wider platform.

William F. Long
Abstract:Visiting America in 1842, Dickens found the problem of drunkenness in the process of being vigorously addressed. He was questioned about the prevalence of alcohol consumption in his fiction and criticized for an inferred less than totally serious regard for America’s efforts to confront the problem by promoting abstinence. His response was to question the logic and potential effectiveness of that approach. He reacted similarly to such an approach at home, consistently reiterating the view that there was “such a thing as Use without Abuse” in personal correspondence, and, sometimes coupled to arguments for moderation in other matters, in his journalism. During his 1842 visit, declining in a previously uncollected letter an invitation to attend a temperance-observing event in New York, he instead sent a striking aphorism, which thereafter appeared in temperance-promoting literature.

Abstract:While critics have often read Hard Times as Dickens’s defense of imagination against utilitarianism, industrialism, and the fact-driven education of his time, the source of Dickens’s defensive theory and poetics has remained comparatively obscure. This article will argue that Dickens, in his attempt to defend imaginative literature, invokes Sir Philip Sidney’s sixteenth-century Defence of Poetry. More specifically, Dickens borrows from Sidney the trope of “Horsemanship” as a means to discuss the value of “Poetry.” Throughout the novel, Dickens turns to the image of the horse and the members of Sleary’s Horse-Riding as the catalysts for poetic powers, fancy, and imagination. Sleary’s troupe exposes the failure of the mechanical residents of Coketown, who insist on manufacturing passionless Bitzers rather than sensitive Sissys. The novel’s equine aesthetic repeatedly conjures the anxiety of the Gradgrindian School of “poesy,” where Dickens, through the equine invocation, carries out his apologetic debate.

Abstract:This essay argues that Dickens rejected the Victorian literary consensus that satire, especially in its extravagant Juvenalian form, was unsuited to the novel. In several prefaces, he positions satire’s magnifying aesthetic of “extreme exposition” as an ideal mode for disrupting readers’ preconceptions. In Our Mutual Friend, Dickens forcefully revives Juvenal’s rhetorical overabundance and open scorn for avarice to showcase the voracious inhumanity of capitalism. Drawing upon prevalent ideas about the power of habit, he floods the novel with examples of the near inescapability of individual and institutional bad habit in a materialistic world. A variety of addictions are shown to dominate human character and deaden empathy and will. With satirical excess, Dickens blatantly displays the apocalyptic pull of solipsism and greed in a series of ostentatious Society dinners that echo Juvenal. In opposition to his critics, Dickens felt his audience urgently needed bold truths delivered with Juvenalian force.
