Dickens's Use of the First Person Narrative Technique in "Hunted Down"
Abstract
The main concern of this article is to shed light on Dickens's technique of the first person narrative used in his short story "Hunted Down". It also aims at showing Dickens's indebtedness, as far as this matter is concerned, to other writers particularly Wilkie Collins. This will be carried out through a careful reading to the text of " Hunted Down" and some critical essays written by Dickens's biographers and critics.
