The characters of Dickens have
more reality than Dickens himself;
the mobiles and millionaires he looked
up TO are already forgotten, while
Uriah Heep and David Copperheld are
intimate realities TO each succeeding
generation.
A book has personality of its own,
quite apart from its author, just as
a child cannot be accounted for by
