I had to take a course on Dickens in college. I liked most of the books we read (including Great Expectations), but I hated A Tale of Two Cities. Most people liked that one though and hated Great Expectations.

[(Anonymous)]

Of the Dickens I've read, A Tale Of Two Cities is his most literary work. By which I mean it's more focused on social and political issues and ideas than his other works, while his other works are more focused on fictional characters having adventures, while the social and political issues and ideas are there, but secondary.

I'm sure someone whose more into lit-crit than I am could easily make the argument that ATOTC is his most important and challenging work. However, I personally found it the driest and least enjoyable.

Did they cover what a shit human he was? Most of my Brit Lit profs has such a hard on for Dickhead and would skip that he was human garbage. He blamed his wife for getting older and for them having so many children. He would constantly threaten her with divorce which would leave her penniless and not being able to even see their children. He badmouthed Catherine to anyone who would listen. Wrote love letters to his underage sister in law and the list goes on and on.

I hated his books and was so relieved to discover that he was a crap human being as well. I mean, it was awful for his wife and kids, but it showed that my radar was working well (at the time.)

SA In fact I think it was Great Expectations that I put down at Chapter 3 and refused to read any further. I simply made an executive decision that I'd rather fail the exam than read the book (and I was Good Student.)

As it happens, one of the other books on the syllabus was "My Family and Other Animals" which I hadn't studied but had read, so I answered that question and passed with flying colours.

This, yes.

I hate him and all his books and am forever resentful at being forced to read any of his misogynistic tripe.
