Bridging the Gap Between Queen and Country: Victorian Social class and Dickens’ Serial Novels
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how Charles Dickens’ serial novels spanned the classes and enabled those of the lower class to access ideas and information that had previously been unavailable to them. Furthermore, this paper will demonstrate how the social insight and/or social commentary found within said serial novels, helped to bring awareness to the people and reshape Victorian society, thereby closing the gap between the classes.
