Charles Dickens's Great Expectations

Book Description
Great Expectations has had a long, active and sometimes surprising life since its first serialized appearance in All the Year Round between 1 December 1860 and 3 August 1861. In this new publishing and reception history, Mary Hammond demonstrates that while Dickens’s thirteenth novel can tell us a great deal about the dynamic mid-Victorian moment into which it was born, its afterlife beyond the nineteenth-century Anglophone world reveals the full extent of its versatility. Re-assessing generations of Dickens scholarship and using newly discovered archival material, Hammond covers the formative history of Great Expectations' early years, analyses the extent and significance of its global reach, and explores the ways in which it has functioned as literature and stage, TV, film and radio drama from its first appearance to the latest film version of 2012. Appendices include contemporary reviews and comprehensive bibliographies of adaptations and translations. The book is a rich resource for scholars and students of Dickens; of comparative literature; and of publishing, readership, and media history.

Book Description
The Complete Novels of Charles Dickens (Illustrated Edition) showcases the iconic works of one of the most celebrated Victorian-era writers. Dickens' literary style combines vivid characterization, social commentary, and elaborate plots that have captivated readers for generations. This collection includes classics such as 'Great Expectations,' 'Oliver Twist,' and 'A Tale of Two Cities,' providing a comprehensive look at Dickens' thematic exploration of societal issues and human nature. The illustrations add an extra layer of depth to the stories, enhancing the reader's immersion into the 19th-century world created by Dickens. Charles Dickens, a prolific author and social reformer, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of London life to create his memorable characters and intricate narratives. His commitment to highlighting the struggles of the poor and marginalized segments of society is evident in his works, making him a prominent figure in the literary canon. I highly recommend The Complete Novels of Charles Dickens to readers seeking a profound literary experience that delves into the complexities of human relationships and society. This beautifully illustrated edition offers a comprehensive overview of Dickens' unparalleled storytelling prowess and enduring relevance in our modern world.
