| Abstract | ||
Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol has many legends associated with it, including the revival of Christmas in England. Dickens himself has over the last two hundred years grown into a part of a gigantic West-dominated culture industry. This article aims to investigate how the culture industry keeps reinventing itself through Dickens in general and Christmas Carol in particular through changing cultural terrains. At the same time, it looks at the localization of Dickens in the Indian context. |
