This book examines Charles Dickens's fiction alongside publications emanating from Parliament. It argues that Dickens and Parliament were engaged in competitive efforts to represent the People at a crucial moment in the history of representative democracy - when the British government wasunder enormous political pressure to expand the franchise beyond a narrow band of male landowners. Contending that fiction and the literature of Parliament interacted at a host of levels - jostling one another in the same bookshops - it reads Dickens's novels in tandem with blue books, the practicetexts of shorthand manuals, and Dickens's journalism. It shows how his fiction mocks parliamentary form (as in Pickwick Papers), canvasses the history of parliamentary representation (as in Bleak House), and depicts the relation of the People to the state as well as commerce (as in Little Dorrit).It thus rethinks the history of the Victorian novel by examining its rivalry with Parliament in the expanding world of print publication. | Dickens and Democracy in the Age of Paper by Carolyn Vellenga Berman, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
