Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to investigate selected fantasy short stories by Charles Dickens. The study focuses on "impulse for fantasy," which leads Dicken’s readers to a captivating world of other reality. Dickens, as a Victorian figure, had always redefined and defined the fantastic method to expose and probe the world of reality. The imaginary/alternate world therefore shaped, gives expression to its new reality creatively manipulated and adapted to expose the truth of the actual world.
