Unlike many of the responses I’m reading here, I know a bit (though I don’t claim to be an expert) about Dickens and his writing. I signed up for this class because, in spite of all that, I don’t like his work very much. I constantly hear people raving about his works as though they were penned by the Grand Illuminated Oversoul of Literature (I move in strange circles), but have never really gained a personal appreciation for them. I’m hoping that this class will help me to change that. Clearly there’s something to like there, and with luck this semester’s study will allow me to find it. I have no illusions about changing my feelings of loathing towards Pip from Great Expectations.
