Doctor Marigold is a novella by the famous Victorian novelist Charles Dickens that tells the story of a “Cheap-Jack” who sells inexpensive articles to the poor in popular fairs. After losing both his daughter and wife, he decides to adopt a deaf and mute girl and names her Sophy after his dead daughter. Throughout the two chapters of the book, Dickens portrays the activities of salesmen in the markets and gives samples of the captivating jingles and patters that they sing. Doctor Marigold, who seems to share with Dickens his linguistic passions, invents a system of sign language for his adopted daughter and teaches her to read and communicate. Dickens’ novella also represents an examination of critical social issues which were much debated in Victorian England, namely adoption and the place of the disabled in the public eye. The latter issue becomes even more complicated when people with a natural handicap decide to marry and run the risk of passing on the handicap to their children. In the narrative, when Sophy marries, Marigold is greatly saddened for her departure. She later sends him a letter to tell him that she is worried that her expected child would be deaf. All culminates in a happy ending, however, when Sophy comes back home and Doctor Marigold assures her that his granddaughter is perfectly healthy.

No Description AvailableCharles John Huffam Dickens pen-name "Boz", was the foremost English novelist of the Victorian era, as well as a vigorous social campaigner. Considered one of the English language's greatest writers, he was acclaimed for his rich storytelling and memorable characters, and achieved massive worldwide popularity in his lifetime. Later critics, beginning with George Gissing and G.K. Chesterton, championed his mastery of prose, his endless invention of memorable characters and his powerful social sensibilities. Yet he has also received criticism from writers such as George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf, who list sentimentality, implausible occurrence and grotesque characters as faults in his oeuvre. The popularity of Dickens' novels and short stories has meant that none have ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialised novels, which was the usual format for fiction at the time, and each new part of his stories would be eagerly anticipated by the reading public. Source: Wikipedia.

When we consider Dickens's life and work, in comparison with that of the two great poets we have been studying, the contrast is startling. While Tennyson and Browning were being educated for the life of literature, and shielded most tenderly from the hardships of the world, Dickens, a poor, obscure, and suffering child, was helping to support a shiftless family by pasting labels on blacking bottles, sleeping under a counter like a homeless cat, and once a week timidly approaching the big prison where his father was confined for debt. In 1836 his Pickwick was published, and life was changed as if a magician had waved his wand over him. While the two great poets were slowly struggling for recognition, Dickens, with plenty of money and too much fame, was the acknowledged literary hero of England, the idol of immense audiences which gathered to applaud him wherever he appeared. And there is also this striking contrast between the novelist and the poets-that while the whole tendency of the age was toward realism, away from the extremes of the romanticists and from the oddities and absurdities of the early novel writers, it was precisely by emphasizing oddities and absurdities, by making caricatures rather than characters, that Dickens first achieved his popularity.

Doctor Marigold: Written as a story for one of his Christmas editions of &#39 All the Year Round&#39 , &#39 Doctor Marigold&#39 s Prescriptions&#39 as it was first entitled is a heart-wrenching tale of a cheap jack, market trader, who loses his own daughter and then his wife and ends up adopting a deaf and dumb young girl. In the most gentle and enchanting way (which follows some of the more brutish happenings earlier in the tale) Doctor Marigold (so called because he was delivered on the Queen&#39 s highway by a kindly doctor) teaches her to understand and communicate with him as they travel the country selling his wares. When she meets a young boy who she is obviously attracted to Doctor is in a quandary and does not know what to do. His heart tells him that Sophy, the name he had given her after his own daughter, is his and his alone and he feels that he cannot let her go after all the effort he has put in to educate her. But after much heart searching he realises that he is being selfish and gives his blessing to the relationship. Sophy marries and departs with her new husband only to return some years later with a child of her own and Doctor&#39 s delight when he realises that his granddaughter can speak is unbounded. It is a loving story with plenty of Dickensian description and dialogue to augment the delightful tale.&nbsp The book then goes on to show how the father made a sacrifice for his daughter, a sacrifice that resulted in happiness for them both. &nbsp, Englisch, Ebook.
