Summary: "Charles Dickens and Music" by James T. Lightwood is a scholarly exploration written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the significant yet often overlooked connection between Charles Dickens and music, drawing on numerous references within Dickens' writings that reflect the musical life of 19th-century England. It illustrates Dickens' engagement with music, both as a listener and an occasional performer, and suggests that his literary characterizations are enriched through musical allusions. The opening of the book introduces Lightwood's interest in analyzing the musical references in Dickens' works, positing that these elements reveal a deeper aspect of Dickens' character. The author shares insights about Dickens' musical education, highlighting his struggles with various instruments and noting his affinity for composers such as Mendelssohn and Chopin. Lightwood mentions Dickens as an appreciative listener rather than a skilled musician, detailing his experiences with music during social gatherings and travels. This sets the tone for a thorough examination of how music serves as a vital backdrop to the themes and characters in Dickens' narratives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
