- W171000003 abstract "While the debt owed by Dickens to the social theories of Carlyle can be traced from Oliver Twist to Edwin Drood, the most significant influ? ence occurred during the 1850s, beginning with Bleak House and ending with A Tale of Two Cities.1 During this period the character and the tone of Dickens's social criticism markedly changed as his view of the Condi? tion of became increasingly one of despair rather than hope.2 In the words of Stephen Blackpool of Hard Times, which was dedicated to Carlyle, 'Tis a' a muddle?a statement that clearly reflects not only Dickens's mental attitude, but that of Carlyle, who four years earlier arrived at the same conclusion in the Latter-Day Pamphlets. While Hard Times is to a large extent a fictional summation of Carlyle's social tenets, a more specific influence can be found in Dickens's caustic attack on foreign philanthropy in Bleak House. When he began to write the novel late in 1851, Carlyle's bitter denunciations of foreign missionary societies in an Occasional Discourse on the Negro Question (1849) and in the Latter-Day Pamphlets (1850) were causing heated debate in London circles, particularly among liberals like John Stuart Mill, who openly challenged the propriety of Carlyle's views.3 Thus, Dickens's specific concurrence in Bleak House with the previous statements of Carlyle takes on added import, for his equally disdainful remarks on foreign philanthropy seem written in response to Carlyle's critics and in support of Carlyle's conclusions. Although neither Carlyle nor Dickens was opposed to the spirit of charity,4 each saw the destitute of England suffering under the throes of laissez faire economics, while foreign missionary societies chose to ignore them in favor of bringing culture and Christianity to far-distant natives. With Africa and the West Indies being the principal recipients of their charitable endeavor, the twenty-six chartered foreign philanthropy organ" @default.
