Literature is seriouz biznus. It shouldn't be fun or jolly or warm hearted. It's should be gloomy and despairing, because that's REAL and ARTISTIC

I like Dickens. He's the comfiest writer, especially Pickwick Papers. I think he suffers due to never really being a proper 'serious' writer - his instinct is always towards comedy and satire and happy endings rather than the trend in the 19th century to establish the novel as serrius bizness. Dickens never engages properly with politics or philosophy other than to gently mock them
I think the worm of literary criticism will turn back towards him at some point, but at the moment the trend seems to be that tragedy is more important than comedy, that melodrama and sentimentality are ipso facto bad, that a serious artist shouldn't be cutesy and cosy.
