A Dickensian Supernatural: Spectres, Carols, And Realism.
Authors : Yousfi Zakia .
Abstract
The Victorian novel helped the development of the novelistic narrative form. Writers like Charles Dickens made a contribution to both literature and society. Dickens offered a diversity of style, forms, and aims which introduced a novelistic literary newness. A Christmas Carol sets an excellent example of a Dickensian conjuring of realistic and unrealistic supernatural aspects to provide readers with a portrait of the Victorian society and reality. In an attempt to provide a new insight into the way Dickensian Realism is viewed and A Christmas Carol is read; this article examines the supernatural as a tool used in the Dickensian realistic Carol to provide a plausible portrayal of reality while preserving meaning in Dickens’s circadian ghostly little book.
