This comprehensive survey of the screen adaptations of the works of the great author covers film worldwide, television, and video dramatizations from 1897 to 1993. While it provides a critical commentary on all noteworthy productions, Charles Dickens on the Screen also contains a catalog of more than 130 movies and 220 TV presentations with cast lists and production credits, and includes many hitherto unrecorded borrowings, spoofs, and satires from the famous stories. Pointer examines the problems inherent in dramatizing Dickens' novels for the screen, and traces the development of the adaptations from tiny extracts in the earliest silent movies to the full-scale television serials of the present day, covering virtually a century of international productions.

Charles Dickens was unquestionably a giant of nineteenth century literature: his humour and wit, and his ability to weave a spellbinding tale, have all ensured that his works have been much translated and are still widely read today. Dickens's first story was published in 1833, and by the time of his death in 1870, he had created a large body of work. Each book is bursting with vibrant characters representing the entire Victorian social strata, from the steaminess of the underworld to the elegance of the leisured classes. Arranged alphabetically for easy location, the thumbnail sketches of Dickens's many and varied characters, their quirks and idiosyncrasies, make 'Who's Who in Dickens' as entertaining to read as it is an invaluable work of reference. Evocative illustrations illuminate the lively text---a powerful combination which will not fail to delight the entire spectrum of this great novelist's devoted readers. Includes black-and-white illustrations.
