Illustrations to Nicholas Nickleby - The British Library Illustrations to Nicholas Nickleby Description English In November 1837 Charles Dickens signed a contract with the publishers Chapman and Hall for a new novel ‘of a similar character and of the same extent and contents in point of quantity’ as Pickwick Papers. Nicholas Nickleby was duly published in 20 monthly parts, or numbers, at a shilling each between March 1838 and September 1839, the last being a double number at two shillings. Each part consisted of 32 pages of text and two engraved plates, bound with advertising supplements in pale green wrappers designed by the illustrator Hablot Browne (Phiz). Part publication Publication in parts was a long-established practice which had the advantage for the publisher of spreading the cost of production over a long period, and for the purchaser of making high-quality, lavishly illustrated fiction affordable. Authors also benefited from a regular income while they wrote: Dickens received £150 for each monthly instalment of Nicholas Nickleby.

It became an important form of publication used by many of the most eminent and popular Victorian novelists, including Thackeray and Trollope, especially during the 1850s and 1860s. Dickens and serialisation in monthly parts Dickens relished the immediacy of the serial form and the close relationship it allowed him to establish with his readers. Nine of his novels appeared in monthly instalments: Pickwick Papers, Nicholas Nickleby, Martin Chuzzlewit, Dombey and Son, David Copperfield, Bleak House, Little Dorrit, Our Mutual Friend and Edwin Drood. The format was so successful that both Sketches by Boz and Oliver Twist were reissued in parts several years after their first publication, and The Old Curiosity Shop, Barnaby Rudge and A Tale of Two Cities were issued in monthly parts simultaneously with their appearance as weekly magazine serials.

Left penniless by the death of his improvident father, young Nicholas Nickleby assumes responsibility for his mother and sister and seeks help from his Scrooge-like Uncle Ralph. Instantly disliking Nicholas, Ralph sends him to teach in a school run by the stupidly sadistic Wackford Squeers.

Nicholas decides to escape, taking with him the orphan Smike, one of Squeers s most abused young charges, and the two embark on a series of adventurous encounters with an array of humanity s worst and best-greedy fools, corrupt lechers, cheery innocents, and selflessbenefactors. Though one of Dickens s earliest works, Nicholas Nickleby features many of his familiar trademarks: a long, complex plot full of surprising twists, unexpected revelations, and jaw-dropping coincidences; a crowded cast of colorful (and memorably named) characters, among them Vincent Crummles, Newman Noggs, and Sir Mulberry Hawk; and an emotionally potent mix of wildly exuberant comedy, deeply moving melodrama, and passionate social criticism fueled by Dickens s own childhood experiences of poverty and injustice.

Great Expectations is a superbly constructed novel of spellbinding mystery and is full of comic and tragic twists. It is generally considered to be one of the best masterpieces of Dickens.

Pip, an orphan, is brought up by his cranky older sister and her gentle, humorous and kind-hearted husband, Joe Gargery. He is hired by a rich, eccentric lady, Miss Havisham. There he meets her beautiful, but haughty, niece, Estella and develops love for her. Estella is so contemptuous of him that he soon feels that he can never be content with his humble life. Pip is determined to change his life, goes to London to acquire good manners and education. He meets a stranger who is ready to use his fortune for Pip .About Author: Charles Dickens (1812-70) was born at Portsmouth on 7 February 1812, the second of eight children. His father, who was a government clerk, was imprisoned for debt and Dickens was sent to work at the age of twelve. His experiences of this period haunted him until the end of his life and inspired much of his fiction, notably the early chapters of David Copperfield. Mastering shorthand, he became reporter of debates in the commons for the Morning Chronicle.

He started publishing sketches in various periodicals, which were subsequently republished as Sketches of Boz, Illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People (1836-37). The Pickwic Papers were published in 1836-37. After a slow start, he earned immense popularity and embarked on a promising future. One of the secrets of his success was the method of cheap serial publication which he used for all his novels. In April 1836, Dickens married the pretty Catherine. On Christmas Day 1836 he met John Forester, who became his close friend and biographer. He published Oliver Twist (1837-38) followed by Nicholas Nickleby (1838-39), The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41) and Barnaby Rudge (1841). In 1842 Dickens and his wife visited America but, in spite of triumphant reception, he returned disillusioned. His American Notes (1842) and Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-44) caused much offence in America. In America he advocated international copyright and the abolition of slavery.

His series of Christmas books earned him immense popularity. The first, A Christmas Carol, appeared in 1843. Dombey and Son (1844-46) and David Copperfield (1849-50) were more serious in theme and more carefully planned than his early novels. In Dickens s later work, his social criticism became more radical and his comedy more savage. He published Bleak House in 1853 which was followed by Hard Times (1854), Little Dorrit (1857), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-61) and Our Mutual Friend (1864-65). His admiration for the young actress Ellen Ternan further strained his marriage deteriorating over years and led to his separation from Catherine in 1858. Dickens died on 9 June 1870 and his last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, remained incomplete. Printed Pages: 504.

Podeschi, B110. Wilkins, p.22. Edgar & Vail, p.20. Dickens edited this entire work, but wrote only the first article of Volume I, "The Lamplighter's Story." The subsequent chapters are by other authors. The English edition was in 3 volumes with illustrations by "Phiz" and Cruikshank. For copyright reasons the American edition issued only the first two volumes and omitted the illustrations. Also for copyright reasons "Charcoal Sketches" by the American, Joseph C. Neal, was omitted. The volume was initially conceived by Dickens and his friend Harrison Ainsworth when John Macrone, Dickens' first publisher ("Sketches by Boz"), suddenly died leaving his family destitute. Despite differences with Macrone, Dickens actively organized the benefit for Mrs Macrone, taking much time from his busy schedule to edit this volume actively and to rewrite his "The Lamplighter's Story," which appeared in Volume I.

All the text and illustrations were donated under Dickens' leadership. Covers soiled. Spine faded, with worn ends and lacking a 1 cm. chip at head. Paper label essentially intact, only slightly rubbed, yet fully legible. Else, Very Good.
