The works of Charles Dickens are a bridge between the literature of the 18
and the 20
centuries. The evolution of genre of his novels confirms this thesis. From the «high way» novel typical for the 18
century novel through the genre of the education novel he came in the beginning of the 40’s to the novel-parable («Barnaby Rudge») and later to the panorama novel which lead to the appearance of his great philosophical novel «A Tale of Two Cities». All these types of novels prepared the genre of a synthetic novel («Great Expectations») and a principally new type of novel was to be realized in «The Mystery of Edwin Drood», but, unfortunately, it could never come true because of the death of «the Inimitable» Dickens.
