Charles Dickens의 世界硏究 = A Study on the World of C. Dickens

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The reputation of Charles Dickens is in no danger. He is the centre of a thriving academic industry.
So this study is researched to find some distintive features of his world.
First, he had summed up, developed and finally outgrown the two traditions in English fiction he had found: the picaresque tradition of Defoe, Fielding and Smollett, and sentimental tradition of Goldsmith and Sterne.
Second, the figuration of his personal experiences is given much weight in his works. His boyhood's poverty-stricken experience and his youthful days' experience of women affected the deepest currents of his emotional life.
Third, his concern about the education for children is shown through most of his works.
Fourth, he had made a contribution to the introduction of psychological realism as well as social realism into England.
Fifth, he was much influenced by Fielding, Smollett and Sterne among English writers and by Hawthorne among American writers. On the other hand, Tolstoy, Kafka and Dostoevsky were much owed to him.
Sixth, his reputation and achievement rest on his comic writing and above all on his comic sense of life. The comic world is a complete world in itself.
Seventh, he finds the importance of symbolism in naming and setting.
Eighth, he is the first writer who opens the way for education or development-novels in England through David Copperfield and Great Expectations.
