The close links between Dickens's biography, his writing and Switzerland have never before been examined so thoroughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than offering a mere chronology of travel, this volume explores Dickens's deep personal investment in the country and its people, which manifests itself in numerous and often the most unexpected places in his fictional and personal texts. It looks both at and beyond the period of the author's journeys to Switzerland during the 1840s and early 50s and considers both earlier and later references as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tome renders visible how Dickens's experience of Switzerland was more than merely episodic and is deeply connected to the rest of his life and literary work. As a significant and integral part of his imagination and his identity, Switzerland deserves a prominent place in Dickensian scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933954523372,"sku":"9781399535663","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399535663-dickens-and-switzerland.jpg?v=1783887695","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/dickens-and-switzerland-by-christine-gmur-9781399535663","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
