Dickens Life of Dickens Second Volume Review
The second volume analyzes Dickens as artist torn between two fires and driven by strong internal struggles. It discusses his temperament, his reliance on single moods for character creation, and his need for varied impressions to sharpen insight. It also covers his travels in Italy Switzerland and France, his works Chuzzlewit and Christmas Carol, and his relief in writing in Genoa Venice and Rome.
