Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita (1958) has given us a term for
what the OEDdefines as 'a sexually precocious schoolgirl', as well as a word which especially
through the Internet has acquired an association with the sexual abuse of children.What is the relationship between a
person in a literary text and a person outside it?Great Expectations (1860-1) opens with the
orphan-hero, Pip, examining the writing on his parents' gravestones in order to attempt to
determine the 'character' of his mother and father: As I never saw my father or my mother,
and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of
photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived
from their tombstones.But this very uncertainty makes the novels
particularly intriguing for a discussion of character since they tend both to exploit and to
explode 'realist' conventions of characterization.There is
even a day named after a fictional character, 'Bloomsday' (16th June), after Leopold Bloom in
James Joyce's Ulysses(1922).(35) The comedy of this passage is partly produced by the double
sense of 'character' - as the shape of an inscribed letter on a tombstone and as the
personality of a human being.How do writers construct
characters and produce the illusion of living beings?From the character and turn of the
inscription, 'Also Georgiana Wife of the Above', I drew a childish conclusion that my mother
was freckled and sickly.As we shall try to demonstrate, these are
questions that books themselves - in particular plays, novels and short stories - consistently
explore.And it is against such preconceptions
that modernist and postmodernist texts tend to work.Charles Dickens's novels are
indisputably from the nineteenth century.It is, we suggest, this tradition which has culminated in the kinds of assumptions
that we often hold about people and characters today.Whether or not they can be described as 'realist',
though, is very definitely a matter of dispute.In this chapter, we shall focus, in particular, on the nineteenth-century realist
tradition.
Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita (1958) has given us a term for
what the OEDdefines as ‘a sexually precocious schoolgirl’, as well as a word which especially
through the Internet has acquired an association with the sexual abuse of children. There is
even a day named after a fictional character, ‘Bloomsday’ (16th June), after Leopold Bloom in
James Joyce’s Ulysses(1922). But what is a person or a character in a literary work? What
does it mean to talk about a character as ‘vivid’ or ‘life-like’? How do writers construct
characters and produce the illusion of living beings? What is the relationship between a
person in a literary text and a person outside it? As we shall try to demonstrate, these are
questions that books themselves – in particular plays, novels and short stories – consistently
explore. In this chapter, we shall focus, in particular, on the nineteenth-century realist
tradition. It is, we suggest, this tradition which has culminated in the kinds of assumptions
that we often hold about people and characters today. And it is against such preconceptions
that modernist and postmodernist texts tend to work. Charles Dickens’s novels are
indisputably from the nineteenth century. Whether or not they can be described as ‘realist’,
though, is very definitely a matter of dispute. But this very uncertainty makes the novels
particularly intriguing for a discussion of character since they tend both to exploit and to
explode ‘realist’ conventions of characterization. Great Expectations (1860–1) opens with the

and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of
photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived
from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father’s, gave me an odd idea that he
was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the
inscription, ‘Also Georgiana Wife of the Above’, I drew a childish conclusion that my mother
was freckled and sickly. (35) The comedy of this passage is partly produced by the double
sense of ‘character’ – as the shape of an inscribed letter on a tombstone and as the
