The truth is that 1 have known
little about the real Dickens. I was
satisfied with the wonderful genius
of the man as found in his many
books. That was enough for me
and I never went about trying to
find the skeleton in the family
closet.
Now comes C. E. Bechhofer Rob-
erts in his new novel, "ThiS Side OF
Idolatry," and tells the world that
this novel Is BIASED on the life OF
Charles Dickens"
I do not give a rip for hero wor-
ship and I wasn't one bit shocked
when certain honest writers began
telling the honest human truths OF
great men.
If I did not believe that Abraham
Lincoln was a human being and
that George Washington, Benjomin
Franklin and all the others of the
great were not human beings, then
I wouldn't be q bit interested in
their lives.
I for one do not fall for that
divine protection idea that so many
people and writer's give to great men
after they are dead and gone.
Personally, I do not give rip
if relatives or the few today who
knew him agree with what Roberts
has to say about Dickens. The
author has done his work so care
fully and with such a background
of possible facts that believe that
the Dickens he pictures in "This
Side Idolatry" could have been the
real Dickens.
And I will go this far to say
that if Roberts has pictured
Dickens entirely true to life, would
not be ashamed to call him friend
and to still sing praises of the
mans greatness as an author.
I find that Roberts anticipated
such criticism in showing up the
alleged unpleasant side of Dickens
as well as his great literary talents
when Dickens preface to Nicholas
Nickelby" is produced as q preface
to "This Side Idolatry."
The N1cKlepy preface Is prOouCeu
as follows:
IF Nicholas be not always found to
be blareless or agreeable, he not al
ways intended to appear so. He is
a young man of an 1mpetuous
temper and of little or no expert
ence; and I saw no reason why such
a hero should be lifted out of ma
ture"
And I see no reason in the world
why Dickens himself should be
lifted out of nature" I feel that
Roberts has made an exhaustive re-
search of Dickens life before he
turned over his manuscript for pub
licatlon by the Bobbs-Merrill Com
parry of Indianapolis.
In my personal experience I have
never found great man to be
God He is great because he is hu-
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-10-05

man or in spite of his humanness.
I believe that genius often takes a
nutty and strange course in the in
dividual blessed with it.
And I honestly believe that a man
who wrote and thought as much as
Charles Dickens would be different
from the mine run individual.
1t doesn't lessen my respect for
the artistry of Dickens to read in
This Side Idolatry."
That Dickens was a supreme ego
fist. That he surely loved himself
and in loving himself he provided
well for his family. That his con-
ceit and his treatment of his wife
resulted in her leaving him some
years before his death. That he had
mental love affairs with young girls
and that in one instance with an
actress that people did talk. That
he mad an effeminate streak in him.
That he loved to personally asssoci
ate with morbid and strange people
That when he felt the urge that he
carted his wife and family over to
italy and other places just because
his mood and the desire to get into
another story urged him on.
These so called alleged damaging
but human attributes in no way
prevents me from marveling at the
way Roberts tells us how and why
Dickens created his famous char
acters.
If you have hero worshiped Dick
ems into your own Hall of Fame
then you will get angry ard all hot
under the collar as you read "ThiS
Side Idolatry."
But if you appreciate that genius
often springs from a combination
of mixed thoughts, emotions and
opinions then you will not be
shocked but highly interested in this
book.
Yes 7 am glad that Roberts has
given the world his conception Of
the true" Dickens and 1 welcome
the courage which prompted Bobbs-
Merrill to publish it.
They are doing lot of talk about
this book and so you better start
reading it.
