| Research Abstract |
Making use of the literary and historical resources that this research project has given me access to, I analyzed the characteristics of Charles Dickens's imagination using the analogy between it and stenography which he taught himself before he became a successful novelist. In the course of this research, I wrote several essays on Dickens's novels or on Dickens the novelist. Some of them were published on academic journals(I read one of them at a conference). My findings through this project about the cultural background of Dickens's writings helped me to finish translating one of his short pieces. I believe I have managed to make a unique contribution to the Dickensian and Victorian studies.
