Borislav Knežević
Abstract
The article discusses Dickens's social activism and journalism in the 1850s, when Dickens edited "Household Words", when he wrote his only "political" novel "Little Dorrit", and when he took very vocal part in criticizing the British patrician government over its handling of the Crimean war. The article aims to elucidate Dickens's rhetorical strategies of spurring his middle-class audiences into enthusiasm for reform.
