Charles Dickens; Elizabeth M. Brennan

Opis

This is the first edition to make full use of discarded and canceled passages, as well as Dickens's surviving working notes and proofs. The new material reveals the strain imposed on Dickens by the unexpected demands of weekly serialization. This is most obvious as he approaches the death of Little Nell, in whose fate both he and his readers became emotionally involved.

Recenzje

The present volume in the Clarendon edition gives the impression of being a work of love for it must have cost untold hours to reach this minutely annotated edition ... Elizabeth Brennan's extensive introduction to the edition does not only hold the key to the different manuscripts used, it presents a fascinating account of the genesis of the novel.
