La revisione del romantico. Dickens e il paradigma amoroso in 'Little Dorrit'
In this paper we shall examine the relationship between Dickens and Romanticism, with specific reference to Little Dorrit (1855-1857), one of the great novels of the writer’s late period. On the one side, Dickens is still within the Romantic cultural frame; on the other, he is keen on satirically distancing himself from the Byronic cultural aftermath, implicitly sensing – together with Carlyle – a radical historical change.
