Book Description

Publication Date: 19 Sep 2002 | ISBN-10: 0715628240 | ISBN-13: 978-0715628249
Douglas Jerrold was the quintessential Victorian. Starting life as a seaman, he, like Dickens, one of his closest friends, turned himself into a famous writer and journalist, a friend feared for his sharp pen in literary circles. A prolific writer of articles and novels, he wrote many successful plays which made his rising popular fame equal to Dickens' celebrity as a novelist. When Jerrold died at the early age of 54, Dickens spoke the eulogy at his funeral, which was attended by a crowd that would only be surpassed by the attendance at Dickens' funeral. This book provides his biography.

Product Description

Review

"Douglas Jerrold . . . is a greatly underestimated literary figure, one to whom Michael Slater's richly detailed biography does ample justice. . . . Details about Jerrold's life, and many more, are put to the reader in a rich and engaging way. . . . For the literary and journalistic life of Douglas Jerrold provides, in miniature, a cultural history of popular and radical culture in the first half of the nineteenth century. As such, Michael Slater's study is essential reading for any student of the period." -- Victorian Studies
