Poems | Charles Dickens
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
While Charles Dickens is best known and celebrated for his prolific journalistic output and novelistic creations, he also devoted some of his creative energies to verse. At turns sentimental, melancholy, playful, humorous and satirical, and ranging considerably in tone and format – from songs to narrative prologues for novels and squibs for newspapers – the poems in this collection highlight Dickens's gift for language and his unfailing power to touch.

Poems | Charles Dickens

Mehso-so

The book it's made of many fragments published all through Dickens career. I give it a so-so because some of them are so out of context that they don't make much sense to be published on its own. It worth reading for the political poems that he published on newspapers criticising the Tories, which I would have rated them a pick if they were on it's own
