The book proceeds to examine theoretical ideas about influence and allusion as aspects of style, and analyzes ways in which Dickens typically employs references to Shakespeare. The final section catalogues approximately one thousand references to Shakespeare's plays and poems drawn from Dickens' fiction, essays, letters, and speeches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47591549960343,"sku":"9780521455268","price":13768.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521455268.webp?v=1774973601","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-dickens-the-dynamics-of-influence-9780521455268","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
