SLEEP AND SLEEP-WATCHING IN DICKENS: THE CASE OF \BARNABY RUDGE\
This article considers the cultural significance of sleep as a creaturely state and bodily practice on the threshold between public and private space in Dickens’s fiction. It focuses on the sleeping bodies that are sprawled across the landscapes of Barnaby Rudge , and offers a new reading of the novel as a text in which sleep, especially the sleep of servants, is an object of narrative comedy, visual mastery, perceptual uncertainty, and political anxiety. The public sleeper is often a haplessly undignified presence on the margins of Dickens’s fiction, but Barnaby Rudge seems to attribute a certain uncanny agency to the figure of the watched sleeper. In this novel, the sleep-watcher emerges as a compromised voyeur, whilst the sleeper becomes a potentially explosive unknown quantity. What is more, these shifting power-relations between those who watch and those who sleep are subtly implicated in the class conflicts that the novel famously dramatizes.

Two Tellings of \Merrywise\: 1949 and 2000
Furthermore, the Muncys were a family of avid readers who not only retold the tales they had read in books, but also added literary flourishes to the tales they retained from oral tradition. First time that I remember meeting her, I was about four, and my father and mother had lived in Pennsylvania. During the intervening forty-five years, she had been retelling her grandmother's and her aunts' tales to her children, her grandchildren, and to patients and clients she has served as a psychological social worker and marriage counselor. [...]she packed them down inside the bag, and she now grinned with a great big toothless grin, at Merrywise, and said, \"Merrywise! Because I say you should, jump into this Puddin-Tuddin Bag with your brothers right now!\" And he said, \"No way, Granny. [...]right off he went again, and right into the Puddin-Tuddin Bag: splat, right on his brother, and down in the bag. Because I'm going to git you.\"
