"Examining Little Dorrit literally rather than symptomatically shows that Charles Dickens highlights the protagonist Amy’s small size on a spectrum of human variation, rendering in detail corporeal experiences in a physical world built for taller people."
@BuffyAntiqua@Dickens_Society@dickensproject Thank you! I admit it's one of my own favorite experiences in a life of lecturing--especially the moment when I had to pause for the laughter and picture-taking when my slide popped up of Ygritte saying, "You know nothing, Arthur Clennam."
"The Littleness of Little Dorrit" is just up on the Review of English Studies website, expanded from my 2018 lecture at Dickens Universe. Alas, no Game of Thrones, but disability, double consciousness, and perspective. @Dickens_Society@dickensproject https://t.co/gwsSH6rla6
