Lives and Times of Ebenezer Scrooge

Omtale

""This excellent, multilayered analysis of Dickens' A Christmas Carol (1843) and its myriad adaptations, interpretations, and reinterpretations illustrates that the classic story was 'only the beginning of the larger culture-text of the Carol written over the last century and a half and still being written today.'. . . . He informs his own text with special effectiveness through iconographical examples. . . . Through this insightful study readers will learn almost as much about British and American life since 1843 as they will about the mutations of Dickens's Carol.""-Choice
