- Summary:
- The Pickwick Papers, seventh novel in The Clarendon Dickens, joins the heralded series on the 150th anniversary of its first publication. Originally planned as a monthly column, the "papers" of the Pickwick Club quickly outgrew their origins to become a brilliantly comic novel whose hilarity did not preclude penetrating satire on the state of pre-Victorian London. James Kinsley's introduction charts the novel's development and reveals new sources and influences on the work.
