Title: The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens Softcover Book. Author: Charles Dickens. Type: Fiction. Edition: Wordsworth Classics Edition 1993. Publisher: Wordsworth Classics. Year First Published: 1836. Format: Softcover Book. Printed By: Clays Ltd, St Ives. Page Count: 804 pages. Size: Width: 11 cm Height: 18 cm Thickness: 4.5 cm Info: The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (also known as The Pickwick Papers) was Charles Dickens's first novel. He was asked to contribute to the project as an up-and-coming writer following the success of Sketches by Boz, published in 1836 (most of Dickens' novels were issued in shilling instalments before being published as complete volumes). Dickens (still writing under the pseudonym of Boz) increasingly took over the unsuccessful monthly publication after the original illustrator Robert Seymour had committed suicide. With the introduction of Sam Weller in chapter 10, the book became the first real publishing phenomenon, with bootleg copies, theatrical performances, Sam Weller joke books, and other merchandise. After the publication, the widow of Robert Seymour claimed that the idea for the novel was originally her husband's; however, in his preface to the 1867 edition, Dickens strenuously denied any specific input, writing that "Mr Seymour never originated or suggested an incident, a phrase, or a word, to be found in the book."
Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the 20th century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories are still widely read today. Wikipedia. Condition: Very Good, all pages and binding intact, no loose pages. The book has not been previously read. Price: R 155.00 Inc Vat.
