A characteristic given by Chesterton for Dickens is close to the truth: “Dickens was a vivid exponent of—this English writer, closely akin to him in many ways—so to speak, a mouthpiece of all-embracing inspiration, fervor and intoxicating enthusiasm, calling everyone to high goals. His best works are an enthusiastic hymn to freedom. All his work shines with reflected light of the revolution.”
