Rethinking Global Dickens
Abstract
This article critically reviews the international works that situate Charles Dickens from a global perspective. The current ‘global’ turn in Dickens’s scholarship and in Victorian literary and cultural studies in general led to a heated debate among scholars and researchers on why there is no complete, comprehensive global study on Dickens. Scholars also disagree on whether systematic or non-systematic methodologies are efficient in the completion of what became known as the Global Dickens Project in the late 1960’s. In this paper, I will refer to the scholarly attempts that aimed to bring Dickens to world audiences. Special attention will be given to the challenges and gaps as far as methodology is concerned, suggesting, in the end, a more effective and productive methodology for systematic scholars.
