Description

This study presents a re-reading of some of Charles Dickens’s most famous works and contends that they are filled with scenes of persuasion—moments of heightened rhetoric. It traces the idea of a vir bonus: a voice that speaks from the perspective of truth and love based in spontaneous feeling.
