Description
Summary:Liminal Dickens is a collection of essays which cast new light on some surprisingly neglected areas of Dickens's writings: the rites of passage represented by such transitional moments and ceremonies as birth/christenings, weddings/marriages, and death. Although a great deal of attention has been paid to the family in Dickens's works, relatively little has been said about his representations of these moments and ceremonies. Similarly, although there have been discussions of Dickens's religious beliefs, neither his views on death and dying nor his ideas about the afterlife have been analysed in.
