Description

Introduction and Notes by Dr T.C.B. Cook; Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). Following the success of The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby was hailed as a comic triumph and firmly established Dickens as a "literary gentleman." It features a full cast of delectable characters—from the iniquitous Wackford Squeers and his family to the delightful Mrs. Nickleby, the eccentric Crummles and his travelling players, the Mantalinis, the Kenwigs, and many more. Combining these with Dickensian elements of burlesque and farce, the novel is eminently suited to dramatic adaptation. So great was its impact that pirated versions appeared in print before the original was finished. Often neglected by critics, Nicholas Nickleby has never ceased to delight readers and is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic masterpieces of nineteenth-century literature. Introduction and notes by Tim Cook added to 2000 revision.
