Dicken’s preternatural energy gets in to David, and is at some considerable variance with..... David’s apparent refusal to explore his own inwardness, What does mark Dickens’s representation of David with stage fire is neither the excess of the early sufferings nor the tiresome idealization of the love for agnes. It is rather the vocation of novelist, the drive to tell a story, particularly one’s own story, that apparels David with the fire of what Freud called the drives. VIVA MODERN CRITICAL INTERPRETATIONS presents the best current criticism on the most widely read and studied poems, novels and dramas of the Western world, from Oedipus Rex and the Iliad to such modern and contemporary works as William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury and Don Delillo’s White Noise.
