Great Expectations: With a Fore-Edge Painting of Charles Dickens.
by Dickens, Charles
- Used
- first
London: Chapman and Hall, 1866. Finely bound example of Dickens' thirteenth novel and his penultimate completed novel; a bildungsroman that depicts the personal growth and personal development of an orphan nicknamed Pip. Octavo, bound in full green morocco, gilt titles and tooling to the spine, raised gilt bands, gilt compartments, gilt ruled, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers. With a fore-edge painting of Charles Dickens and a scene from the novel of Miss Haversham and Pip. In near fine condition. A desirable example. According to G. K. Chesterton, Dickens penned Great Expectations in "the afternoon of [his] life and fame." It was the penultimate novel Dickens completed, preceding Our Mutual Friend. It is set among the marshes of Kent and in London in the early to mid-1800s. The novel contains some of Dickens most memorable scenes, including its opening, in a graveyard, when the young orphan Pip is accosted by the escaped convict, Abel Magwitch. Great Expectations is a graphic book, full of extreme imagery, poverty, prison ships ("the hulks"), barriers and chains, and fights to the death. Upon its release, Thomas Carlyle spoke of "All that Pip's nonsense." Later, George Bernard Shaw praised the novel as "All of one piece and consistently truthful." Dickens felt Great Expectations was his best work, calling it "a very fine idea," and was very sensitive to compliments from his friends: "Bulwer, who has been, as I think you know, extraordinarily taken by the book."
