Description

Awareness of Ellen Ternan in Polish critical literature and biographical material devoted to Dickens fluctuated together with attitudes of the critics to the writer himself. The general public was provided with several images of Dickens, depending on the historical period. Throughout the nineteenth century, his works were regarded as examples of novel writing to be followed by Polish writers, mostly because of the social issues he discussed. During this period he was also appreciated for his humor and for his humanity. Subsequently, however, he came to be treated as a popular figure but one which lacked status as a great artist. Despite providing innovative analyses of Dickens's oeuvre, modernists could not appreciate the type of works he created. His long novels did not fit the demands of new fiction, which called for concise works and greater psychological depth. After World War II, in the socialist People's Republic of Poland, Dickens's novels served different needs. To some, they were useful as propaganda, revealing the limitations of the capitalist system; to others, they illustrated obvious ideological weaknesses. He failed to advocate the need for revolution in order to solve social problems, he showed little understanding of the class struggle, and, especially in Hard Times, he depicted workers unrealistically. Later, with the emergence of democratic Poland committed to a free-market economy, another perspective developed, one which saw his works as a commercial property of value to publishers. Literary critics, however, scrutinized the artistry of his novels, paying attention to his narrative techniques and providing evidence for his artistic genius overlooked previously.
