This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 1402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Oliver Twist + The Old Curiosity Shop: 2 Unabridged Classics, Illustrated', Charles Dickens expertly weaves together two timeless tales of hardship, morality, and redemption. The book is a collection of two of Dickens' most famous works, featuring his signature rich descriptions and compelling narratives. Set in Victorian England, both stories delve into the lives of disadvantaged individuals striving to survive in a society rife with poverty and injustice. Dickens' meticulous attention to detail brings the streets of London vividly to life, creating a vivid backdrop for his characters' struggles and triumphs. Charles Dickens, a prolific and influential Victorian writer, drew inspiration from his own experiences of poverty and social inequality to craft these powerful narratives. His deep empathy for the marginalized shines through in his portrayal of complex characters and societal issues. Through his writing, Dickens aimed to shed light on the plight of the downtrodden and advocate for social reform. I highly recommend 'Oliver Twist + The Old Curiosity Shop' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of human nature, morality, and social justice in Victorian England. This collection serves as a poignant reminder of Dickens' enduring legacy as one of the greatest novelists of the 19th century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Curiosity Shop was expanded from a short tale to save Dickens's failing periodical Master Humphrey's Clock (1840-1); it is the first of his novels of which the complete manuscript, many corrected proofs, and some working notes survive. This makes it uniquely interesting to both the textual critic and general reader. Forster's Life of Dickens played down the novelist's dependence on his friend's help, but the proofs reveal at first hand the nature of Forster's assistance as well as Dickens's own practice. In conjunction with the manuscript, which contains two previously unprinted notes to his publisher, they show Dickens dealing with the unexpected demands of weekly serialization of an unplanned, full-length novel. This is most obvious as he approaches the death of Little Nell, in whose fate both he and his readers became emotionally involved. This is the first edition to benefit from the recent revelation of material which Dickens had himself obscured or discarded on manuscript versos, and the first to scrutinize the importance and impact of the wood engravings dropped into the text.

Download or read book The Emergence of the Antique and Curiosity Dealer in Britain 1815 1850 written by Mark Westgarth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than the customary focus on the activities of individual collectors, The Emergence of the Antique and Curiosity Dealer in Britain 1815–1850: The Commodification of Historical Objects illuminates the less-studied roles played by dealers in the nineteenthcentury antique and curiosity markets. Set against the recent ‘art market turn’ in scholarly literature, this volume examines the role, activities, agency and influence of antique and curiosity dealers as they emerged in the opening decades of the nineteenth century. This study begins at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, when dealers began their wholesale importations of historical objects; it closes during the 1850s, after which the trade became increasingly specialised, reflecting the rise of historical museums such as the South Kensington Museum (V&A). Focusing on the archive of the early nineteenth-century London dealer John Coleman Isaac (c.1803–1887), as well as drawing on a wide range of other archival and contextual material, Mark Westgarth considers the emergence of the dealer in relation to a broad historical and cultural landscape. The emergence of the antique and curiosity dealer was part of the rapid economic, social, political and cultural change of early nineteenth-century Britain, centred around ideas of antiquarianism, the commercialisation of culture and a distinctive and evolving interest in historical objects. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, histories of collecting, museum and heritage studies and nineteenth-century culture.
