The Female Stoic podcast Philosophy and Literature podcast with Stephanie Poppins 19 Stoic Humility with Charles Dickens - Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history - In today's episode of The Female Stoic Podcast we are discussing Humility in the novella Christmas carol by Charles dickens The original publication date for Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is December 19,1843. It was an instant success, with the first edition selling out by Christmas Eve. Like many of Dickens’ other works, A Christmas Carol was written as a work of social commentary. Dickens had a lifelong devotion to helping the underserved due to his own family’s experiences with debtors prison, which forced him to drop out of school as a boy and work at a factory. As Dickens’ biographer Michael Slater described, the author thought of A Christmas Carol as a way to, “help open the hearts of the prosperous and powerful towards the poor and powerless…." And we could argue this is a stoic approach to that same sense of loss that scrooge had, And dickens triumphs here, because he, as an author, is in alignment with his purpose. He had been proactive in his response to something as devastating as loss and poverty. Voice on this audiobook is registered as a trademark, and isprotected with an invisible watermark.
