To what extent did Charles Dickens see himself as a medium of forces beyond his conscious control? What did he think such subconscious mechanisms might be, and how did his thoughts on the subject play out in his writings?

It is the first book-length study to approach Dickensian psychology from the vantage point of what the speculations of Dickens's-rather than of our own-had to say about mental phenomena, both normal and abnormal.
