Focusing on the novels retrospective narrator, whom he identifies as Esther Woodcourt in order to distinguish her from her younger, unmarried self, John Jordan offers provocative new readings of the novels narrative structure, its illustrations, its multiple and indeterminate endings, the role of its famous detective, Inspector Bucket, its many ghosts, and its relation to key events in Dickenss life during the years 1850 to 1853.</p><p>Jordan draws on insights from narratology and psychoanalysis in order to explore multiple dimensions of Esthers complex subjectivity and fractured narrative voice.
