Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dickensiana: A Bibliography of the Literature Relating to Charles Dickens and His Writings "Posthumous Fame! Proud words - yet may they be uttered in a humble spirit. The common lot of man is, after death - oblivion. Yet genius, however small its sphere, if conversant with the conditions of the human heart, may vivify with indestructible life some happy delineations, that shall continue to be held dear by successive sorrowers in this vale of tears. If the name of the delineator continue to have something sacred in its sound - obscure to the many as it may be, or non-existent - the hope of such posthumous fame is sufficient to one who overrates not his own endowments. And as the hope has its root in love and sympathy, he who by his writings has inspired towards himself when in life, some of these feelings in the hearts of not a few who never saw his face, seems to be justified in believing that even after final obliteration of Hic Jacet from his tombstone, his memory will be regarded with something of the same affection in his Remains." Christopher North. Although the sentiments above quoted were not meant to have any direct personal application, they could not be more appropriately associated than with the name and fame of Charles Dickens.
