Underly Cherished Talent
Why is it that while we all acknowledge the genius of Dickens's descriptions and know that this is what initially drove him to write, we incessantly ignore his books of pure description? Is it that we are far too accustomed to plot and narrative or due to ignorance that these works still exist?
