I take those to be the dramatic unities, so far as I have been enabled to bestow attention upon them, and I have read much upon the subject, and thought much.””
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
