Summary

"Dickens and His Illustrators" by Frederic George Kitton is a discussion of the writers and illustrators that worked along side Charles Dickens during the late 19th century. It examines their artistic work on his novels and publications, and it shows how images of the characters impacted the reader's understanding and experience. Kitton describes how the illustrations that went along with Dickens' novels were very thorough and provided enhancements, but he also shows that Dickens had a complex relationship with the illustrators. Dickens had high standards for their work, but he was many times failed to see satisfactory results. Kitton wants to show the artistic work from behind the scenes and the collaboration between the novelist and his illustrators during Dickens's career.
