The Lives and Times of Ebenezer Scrooge

About this book

""This excellent multilayered analysis of Dickens A Christmas Carol (1843) and its myriad adaptations interpretations and reinterpretations illustrates that the classic story was only the beginning of the larger culture-text of the Carol written over the last century and a half and still being written today.. . . . He informs his own text with special effectiveness through iconographical examples. . . . Through this insightful study readers will learn almost as much about British and American life since 1843 as they will about the mutations of Dickenss Carol.""-Choice
