Zusammenfassung:Bevis draws out the extent to which Dickens's experiences as a journalist and public speaker contributed to an alternative, polyvocal eloquence in novels like The Pickwick Papers (1836-37), Oliver Twist (1837-38), Bleak House (1852-53), Little Dorrit (1855-57), and Hard Times (1854). In "Guinevere," he finds Arthur's speech in answer to his wife's betrayal another version of the rhetoric used by the queen when addressing the Indian Mutiny of 1857; both speeches highlight a tension between mercy and justice.
