| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project investigated the early- and mid-period novels of Charles Dickens (1812-70), focusing on their narrative techniques that foreground complex intersections of voice and text. The chief aim was to explore his ambivalence within the broader context of 19th-century publishing market, as technological innovations contributed to produce a mass market of literature, and as people’s voices were transformed and standardised into print. My research made clear how Dickens utilised these changes to establish himself as a successful novelist, yet at the same time how he tried to preserve his own authentic voice, away from such cultural commodification.
