The Pickwick PapersSince its first publication, The Pickwick Papers has delighted readers with the adventures of the members of the Pickwick Club. Dickens's first novel combines wonderful comic writing with a cutting depiction of social and legal abuses in the late Georgian period of his early youth. The Pickwick Papers established Dickens's popularity and, in Mr Pickwick and Sam Weller, showed his talent for inventing immortal characters. This Nonesuch edition presents the author's final text and the illustrations Dickens himself selected to complement his words. -- |
