520    "The volume comes out of a 2010 Dickens conference at the 
       editors' institution and brings together deceased, senior,
       mid-career, and a couple of junior Dickens scholars from 
       the Anglophone and German literary critical traditions. 
       During his career as a writer and a public figure, Charles
       Dickens witnessed unprecedented social and economic 
       changes, becoming ever more dissatisfied with English 
       society as a whole. His works, bursting with restless 
       energy and protean style, registered and commented on the 
       ceaseless changes in the Victorian world. As a 
       documentarian, a melodramatist, a satirist, and a 
       crusading moralist, Dickens both chronicled the 
       transformations around him and advocated for radical 
       changes to British laws and attitudes in order to minimize
       the malign impact of modern industrial capitalism. 
       Bringing together an international group of Dickens 
       scholars, this volume highlights the many ways in which 
       the notion of change has found entry into and is 
       negotiated within Dickens's works. The contributors 
       explore Dickens as an agent of change in four aspects: 
       social change, political and ideological change, literary 
       change, and cultural change. In an afterword, Edgar 
       Rosenberg adds a personal account of how Dickens changed 
       the life of one eminent Dickensian"--|cProvided by
