Dickens and the Bible
At a time when biblical authority was under challenge from the Higher Criticism and evolutionary science, 'what providence meant' was the most keenly-contested of questions. In a close study of major novels, it argues that networks of biblical allusion reveal the Judeo-Christian grand narrative as key to his development as a writer, and as the ontological ground on which he stands to appeal to 'the conscience of a Christian people'. This book takes up the controversial subject of Dickens and religion.
This book draws on the providential thinking of two twentieth century theorists, Bakhtin and Ricoeur, in tracing the development of Dickens's narrative theology. Engaging the biblical narrative in dialogue with other contemporary narratives that concern themselves with origins, destinations, and hermeneutic decipherments, Dickens affirms the Bible's still-active role in popular culture.
