This work serves as a complementary volume to Taine's earlier exploration of English literature, focusing specifically on contemporary writers from a dynamic period still in formation. The book discusses various significant authors, including the notable Charles Dickens, analysing their contributions and the overarching trends in English literary culture during that era. At the start of the volume, the author outlines his intent to sketch the prevailing literary landscape rather than provide a complete historical narrative, as the documents of the present remain too fragmented for definitive conclusions. He introduces a selection of contemporary English writers, pinpointing their diverse and inventive thoughts, while arguing that they reflect both uniquely British and broader European characteristics. The initial focus is on Dickens, emphasizing his exceptional imagination and vivid descriptive style, which brings a vibrant quality to his depictions of both mundane and extraordinary scenes. The analysis previews the depth of emotional experience Dickens evokes, suggesting that his works, while steeped in pathos and humor, ultimately seek to engage readers with the complexities of human experience and societal critique.
