Description

A guide to 'Dickensian values, ' exploring the ideas, beliefs, ideals and ambitions that helped to shape Dickens' writing.

First Sentence

By Dickens's day, no doubt partly as a result of Coleridge's famous distinction between the two words in chapter 13 of his Biographia Literaria(1817), the word 'fancy' had ceased to be virtually synonymous with 'imagination' and was generally used to denote an inferior form of that faculty.
