The Pickwick Papers “is not only popular art, but work of the highest literary achievement, dynamic, complex and magical,” writes Paul Schlicke in his introduction to this extensively annotated, user-printable edition of Dickens’s first novel. Peopled with a large cast of vividly memorable characters, the episodic misadventures of the amiable Mr Pickwick, his friends and worldly-wise servant, Sam Weller, evoke late 1820s England with nostalgic good humour. On the eve of its demise, the convivial world of coaching inns is joyfully portrayed, and although the scenes in the Fleet prison add darker shade to the work, Pickwick has all the buoyancy of its energetic young author, whom it propelled to fame and fortune. The text has been prepared by Barry Jones from the final revision for which Dickens was responsible; editorial emendations are recorded. 1482 pages.
