Beschreibung:
This is the first edition to make full use of discarded and canceled passages, as well as Dickens's surviving working notes and proofs. The new material reveals the strain imposed on Dickens by the unexpected demands of weekly serialization. This is most obvious as he approaches the death of Little Nell, in whose fate both he and his readers became emotionally involved.
The complete manuscript, many corrected proofs, and some working notes of "The Old Curiosity Shop" survive. This edition benefits from the revelation of material which Dickens had himself obscured or discarded. It scrutinizes the importance of the wood engravings dropped into the text.
