- W69460120 abstract "For over a century serious Dickens scholars and amateur Droo dians alike have speculated on every possible permutation of the plot of The Mystery of Edwin Drood. In view of the controversies which have in? variably arisen over each new solution, it is surprising that one aspect of the story has provoked little debate: the marriages that, in typical Dickensian fashion, might conclude the novel. Although John Forster's resolution of the plot in his Life of Dickens has come under fire from all sides, few have challenged his conclusions on matrimonial matters: Rosa was free marry Tartar, and Crisparkle the sister of Landless, who was himself, I think, have perished in assisting Tartar finally unmask and seize the murderer.1 Setting aside for a moment the ques? tion of whether Forster's predictions seem plausible, one still marvels at how casually they have been accepted.2 Only a handful of twentieth century commentators even deal with the problem at all; those who do unanimously accept Tartar, especially, as an amans ex machina in? troduced late in the story to provide a love interest for Rosa.3 Drood after all offers an unsolved murder mystery, and with the unmasking of Dick Datchery and the criminal psychology of John Jasper left forever the imagination, a wedding seems of slight importance. But Drood, mystery though it be, is not simply an Agatha Christie type of puzzler. It is Dickens's last work. As Angus Wilson argues, Dickens had included mysteries in his novels ever since Oliver Twist, and Wilson sees no reason assume that Charles Dickens in his last novel had departed completely from the kind of novels that he had previously produced, nothing suggest that he was intent upon creating a novel whose major interest lay solely in suspense and mystery, . . . less still upon writing the sort of complex technical mystery story which so many of the ingenious unravellers of Drood's puzzle have invented.4" @default.
