Description

Mr. Dick: Man in the Middle Whether or not one accepts Stanley Tick's suggestion that the abused Mr. Dick is a type of Dickens himself, with Mr. Dick's failed autobiographical attempts signaling Dickens's own literary struggles and his repression of distressing childhood memories, Tick's argument does begin a necessary process of reclamation. Though less central to the novel then Tick suggests, David Copperfield's resident simpleton does deserve rescue from those who would dismiss him as "merely absurd," a comic device and little else (Tick 145). Mr. Dick stands midway between Dickens's earlier and later intellectually disabled figures in a number of ways. In addition to inhabiting Dickens's favorite novel, published roughly halfway through his writing career, Mr. Dick links the author's earlier, more stereotypical portrayals of cognitive disability with those later, more stable and empowering configurations located in Maggy and Sloppy. Mr. Dick also figures as a transitional figure within his own novel, his role as clown slowly reconstituted into that of a consequential, productive, and equal member of his community.
