Ackroyd's magnificent biography sets the seal on Dickens's acknowledged supremacy in the English novel-I can do no more than praise, recommend, insist that you buy and read this book-it supersedes all other Dickens biographies' Anthony Burgess, Independent Dickens was a landmark biography when first published in 1990. This specially edited shorter edition takes the reader into the life of one of the world's greatest writers.
