Reviews

No single letter, however, prepares you for the sense of energy you get from the volume as a whole....There are displays of energy that wear you down, and displays that make you feel more alive yourself. Dickens's are of the second kind....Like earlier volumes in the Pilgrim series, this new one has been impeccably edited; like them, too, its has a double appeal. It leaves you feeling that you know Dickens much better, and it takes you deep in Victorian life. --John Gross, Sunday Telegraph<br> An example of literary scholarship to which all of us may aspire, but which few will be able to equal. --Peter Ackroyd, The Times (London)<br> This, the most recent volume of the altogether admirable Pilgrim Edition of Dickens' correspondence, is as fine as its predecessors: handsomely bound and printed, expertly edited, generously capacious, and scaffolded with impeccable critical apparatus. --Virginia Quarterly Review<br> The Letters of Charles Dickens Volume VII is a book of brilliant things...The editors have done a superb job, as ever... --The Independent<br> NO WONDER Charles Dickens believed in spontaneous combustion. The three years covered by this volume are so absurdly full of life that he seems himself in danger of burning up or flying apart. --Observer<br>
