Justice has a long memory in Nemesis , a short piece of Charles Dickens's crime writing in which wrongdoing is patiently tracked to its reckoning by the detective police he so admired. Drawn from the crime and detective journalism Dickens produced around 1850 for his journal Household Words , this brief work reflects his lifelong fascination with the men of the new detective force and the certainty of retribution that overtakes the guilty. Dickens (1812 - 1870), the pre-eminent novelist of Victorian England, was among the first serious writers to celebrate the detective as a figure of order and moral consequence, a theme that runs through his fiction from Oliver Twist to Bleak House . Here that preoccupation is distilled into a single, pointed study of crime and its comeuppance. This edition features:
A short study drawn from Charles Dickens's crime and detective journalism of the 1850s for his journal Household Words.
A meditation on the certainty of retribution and the work of Victorian England's newly established detective police.
A companion to Dickens's celebrated portraits of Scotland Yard and the origins of the modern detective figure.
