"It is a wonderful privilege to be able to pore over…Dickens' greatest and most compelling novel, to see his alterations and working notes..."
– Claire Tomalin, author of Charles Dickens: A Life

Great Expectations was (like most of Dickens' works) first published in serial form, in his periodical All the Year Round, shortly before the first book edition of 1861.

Dickens scholars and enthusiasts will now be able easily to study this three-volume book edition alongside the serial and the work-in-progress, with all its deletions and revisions.

This selection from the letters gives a vivid portrait of a man juggling family life, writing, editing, travelling, amateur theatricals and public readings

On Charles Dickens


This book illuminates the worlds – social, political, economic and artistic – in which Dickens lived and worked.		A study of how Johnson, Coleridge, Hazlitt and Dickens used their experience of parliamentary journalism in their literary careers.		An original study of Dickens' early career and the way he constructed his literary reputation.



	A lively and accessible introduction for general readers, students, teachers, and academics.		Sally Ledger offers substantial readings of the influences of radical writers on works from Pickwick to Little Dorrit.


	John Forster (1812–76), an exact contemporary of Charles Dickens, was one of his closest friend and ideally placed to write a biography of Dickens		George Dolby published this memoir in 1885 in which he describes in detail the constant travel which the tours entailed, the people they encountered, and the enthusiastic response with which Dickens was everywhere received.		Dickens' travel writings have all the energy and urgency of journalism, and these two controversial volumes, drawn from his experiences on a six-month tour of the United States between January and June 1842, are no exception.
