The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | Copyright

Palliser, Charles (1947– ), American-born novelist, resident in Britain since the age of 10. The Quincunx (1989) is a monumental and explicit hommage to Dickens which matches his atmosphere, sense of place, and hatred of poverty and social injustice to an extraordinary degree. After a Modernist novella (The Sensationalist, 1990) and and intricate book of parodies (Betrayals, 1994), Palliser returned to the Victorian setting and neo-Gothic mode with The Unburied (1999).
