Shutt delivers a thought-provoking exploration of the worlds of two of the greatest authors of the 19th century: Mark Twain and Charles Dickens. Although these literary giants lived on opposite sides of the Atlantic, fascinating comparisons can be made in their use of language, humor, evocation of character, and evaluation of the social world.
Introduction -- The life of Charles Dickens -- The life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, aka Mark Twain -- Autobiography and childhood: Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, and Huckleberry Finn -- Autobiography and childhood: Charles Dickens, David Copperfield -- Twain and Dickens: visions of society -- Twain and Dickens: moral and religious vision -- Twain and Dickens: women, sexuality, and final assessment.
Lecture given by Timothy B. Shutt.
