About this book
Dickens is by Adolphus William Ward. The text says that if Charles Dickens, when he entered the school, was put into Virgil, he was not put there to much purpose. A club was founded among the boys at Wellington House for the express purpose of circulating short tales.
The text says of Bleak House that an overstrained tone announces itself on the very first page, an opening full of power, indeed of genius, but pitched in a key which we feel at once will not, without effort, be maintained. The text lists, among others, the Tom Pinches and Trotty Vecks and Clara Peggottys, who reconcile us with our kind, and Mr. Pickwick himself as true copies of Nature’s own handiwork.
