About This Item
New York. 1977. Dent Dutton. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 046001238x. An Everyman Paperback. 842 pages. paperback. 1238. Cover Illustration from Mary Evans Picture Library, tinted by Brian Robins. keywords: Literature England 19th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - NICHOLAS NICKLEBY was the supreme point of Dickens's romantic spring: his first romantic, chivalrous novel. The result is a delightful tale, predominantly sunny but encompassing also the dark streaks of near-tragedy without which no romantic novel is complete: the Nicklebys downfall engineered by their wicked uncle; Kate Nickleby's seduction planned by the two dastardly aristocrats. Sir Mulberry Hawk and Lord Frederick Verisopht; her heroine, Madeline Bray, betrothed against her will to a repulsive usurer, Arthur Gride. Here, too, are the miseries of Dotheboys Hall, Dickens's composite portrait of the nineteenth-century Yorkshire schools, to which illegitimate and inconvenient' children were sent to disappear from their parents' lives. And, as always with Dickens, we are presented also with a wonderful assortment of comic characters. The reader will have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Vincent Crummles and his talented theatrical company, the financially and verbally extravagant Mr. Mantalini, and the prattling, illogical Mrs. Nickleby and her ever-ardent courtier, the Gentleman in Small-clothes. inventory #18034 ISBN: 046001238x.
