Jay Dickson said The Illustrated Man of Letters. John Forster was Dickens's best friend and closest companion for almost the entirety of his adult life. His biography of the great man, which came out soon after Dickens's death, surprised Victorian readers with the truths it laid out about Dickens's childhood traumas (particularly working in a blacking factory when his father was in debtors' prison). It remains one of the most famous of all English biographies, and was reissued in this beautiful edition in "The Illustrated Man of Letters" according to Jay Dickson.
