La pequeña Dorrit cuenta la historia de una joven cuyo padre es encarcelado por deudas durante muchos años; de hecho, ella misma nace en la prisión y crece allí, aunque puede abandonarla cuando lo decide. Por otro lado, también se atiende a los avatares de Arthur Clennam, un hombre que se ha dedicado al negocio familiar en el extranjero y que regresa a Londres con el propósito de cambiar por completo de vida. Arthur conoce a Amy Dorrit en casa de su madre, que la ha contratado como costurera, y conoce así la desgraciada historia de la muchacha. Pronto ambos personajes entenderán que sus vidas tienen muchos puntos en común, y la suerte de ambos cambiará conforme vayan desarrollándose los acontecimientos.

The Reception of Charles Dickens in Europe offers a full historical survey of Dickens's reception in all the major European countries and many of the smaller ones, filling a major gap in Dickens scholarship, which has by and large neglected Dickens's fortunes in Europe, and his impact on major European authors and movements. Essays by leading international critics and translators give full attention to cultural changes and fashions, such as the decline of Dickens's fortunes at the end of the nineteenth century in the period of Naturalism and Aestheticism, and the subsequent upswing in the period of Modernism, in part as a consequence of the rise of film in the era of Chaplin and Eisenstein. It will also offer accounts of Dickens's reception in periods of political upheaval and revolution such as during the communist era in Eastern Europe or under fascism in Germany and Italy in particular.

This is the first book-length English-language study of a group of five artists closely linked with the Spanish avant-garde in the 1920s and 1930s, now known as the 'Other' Generation of 27. In the same way that their contemporaries of the celebrated Generation of 27 (which included Federico Garcia Lorca) attempted a revolution of the arts through poetry inspired by European modernism, the 'Other' Generation of 27 attempted to renovate Spanish humour, first in prose, and then in the theatre and cinema. This book demonstrates how these humorists drew on the humour of Chaplin, Keaton, Lubitsch and the Marx Brothers for their stage comedy, and how they stretched the limits of the stage at the time by incorporating cinematic techniques, such as flashback, voice-overs and montage, in their search for new dramatic forms.
