The Lives and Times of Ebenezer Scrooge by Paul Davis is an exploration of the British and American versions of the works. A Christmas Carol has been adapted, revised, condensed, added to, and modernized more times than any other in English literature. From book to stage to film and cartoon, the author shows how these interpretations have reflected the changing cultural perspectives of successive eras. Dickens's original story written in 1843, provided proof that urbanization had not destroyed Christmas and the old traditions could flourish in the cities. By the 1870's A Christmas Carol had become secular scripture and then the sophisticated decade before World War One treated the work as a children's story. By the 1960's, Scrooge became a Freudian figure tormented by his past. The book is a fascinating trip through literary decades.
