Abstract
This essay surveys Dickens scholarship in the year 2011, summarizing and commenting on nearly 150 critical articles and books. While the body of work produced in this year has been wide-ranging and diverse in its interests, some scholarly trends emerge. Particularly vibrant fields of study are life writing about Dickens, no doubt in anticipation of his bicentennial year; Dickens adaptations, particularly in performance; and Dickens's relationship to economics. These common interests reflect our contemporary preoc cupations, and the extent to which Dickens's life and works are relevant to these current concerns. The scholarship surveyed is organized into the following categories: Life Writing; General Studies; Influences on Dickens, Dickens's Influence: Intertextualities; Performance and Adaptation; Places and Spaces: Geography, Internationalism, and the Urban Imagination; Material Culture and Publication; Reading, Writing, Textuality; Inner Lives: Psychology, Philosophy, Religion; Social Institutions and Issues: Capitalism, Law, Politics; Science and Technology; and Gender and Sexuality, Family and Children.
