Royal Shakespeare Company founder member follows in Charles Dickens's footsteps in new book from Palmetto Publishing
Dickens in Ohio: The Neglected Story
Drawing inspiration from Dickens's "American Notes,” G.W. Putnam's 1870 article in The Atlantic, and Norman Page's "A Dickens Chronology” (1988), Jerome contends that the days Dickens spent in Ohio in April 1842 represent a sharp intersection between the most famous novelist in the world at the time and a state that was a microcosm of the U.S. in the nineteenth century. "The book presents the strangely ignored story of Charles Dickens's visit to Ohio, highlighting its significance both then and now,” Jerome says. His meticulous research and in-depth narrative will captivate Dickens devotees as well as literary historians and enthusiasts. The book has many illustrations and maps giving pictorial support to the text.
"Dickens in Ohio” is available for purchase on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
