Dickens's Idiomatic Imagination: The Inimitable and Victorian Body Language
Peter J. Capuano
Dickens was famously drawn to the vernacular language of London's streets, but this book is the first to call attention to how he employed phrases that embody actions, ideas, and social relations for specific narrative purposes. Capuano demonstrates how Dickens came to relish using common idioms in uncommon ways and the possibilities they opened up for artistic expression.
