Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short biography of Charles Dickens by acclaimed actor and writer Simon Callow that offers a fresh perspective on one of the greatest novelists in the English language in a lively, highly readable account. "It has all the gusto that a popular biography of Dickens—a man who “could do nothing by halves”—should possess. . . . The best biography for Dickens newcomers and a wonderful read for all."—Library Journal Dickens was one of the first true celebrity authors. Thousands of fans in Britain and America eagerly awaited each new installment of his stories and flocked to see him on his legendary speaking tours. Not only did he create an incredible cast of characters on the page, but he was also a dazzling mimic and storyteller, and he wrote, stage-managed, and acted in plays for the public. Throughout his life, from his childhood performances in pubs to his legendarily powerful reading tours, Dickens was fanatical about the stage. Callow reveals Dickens’s genius on and off the page and offers a compelling insight into a life that was driven as much by performance and showmanship as by literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Dickens and the Stage: A Record of His Connection With the Drama as Actor and Critic It has often been said that in gaining a great novelist the English-speaking world lost an almost unequalled actor, and a most powerful dramatist; in other words, that if, instead of devoting himself to the writing of fiction in volume form, Charles Dickens had identified himself with the stage, he would have made upon it, both as performer and as writer, a name second to none in theatrical history. The question, is hardly to be argued. By the interpretation of parts undertaken in amateur performances, and still more notably by the extraordinary dramatic power which he evinced at the reading desk, and by means of which he was able, alone, and unaided by scenery or other stage surroundings, to hold, spellbound, critical audiences, and at his will to call forth tears or laughter, Dickens proved that as an actor he was the possessor of absolute genius. To judge of his powers as a dramatist by the little plays that are fathered with his name would be manifestly absurd.

But the dress rehearsal is disrupted by the discovery of a body lying in the centre of the stage, shot to death. With everyone involved in the play coming under suspicion, the two writer-sleuths feel compelled to investigate. Their enquiries unearth a number of scandalous secrets lurking among the writers, artists and actors assembled at Knebworth. Secrets that stretch back more than twenty years. Secrets that will have devastating repercussions for the present.
