Emerging from Dickens's preoccupation in the early 1840s with
issues of poverty, ignorance, and cruelty, this classic story of
Ebeneezer Scrooge, visited by four ghosts on Christmas Eve, was
first published in 1843 to strong reviews and popular success. The
Broadview edition reprints the first edition(1843) with original
drawings by John Leech. This edition also includes Washington
Irving's descriptions of English Christmas customs; essays by
Dickens on Christmas and on life in the workhouse; a British
government report on the lives of child labourers; a speech by
Dickens on the importance of educating the poor; selected letters;
contemporary reviews; and a listing of film, television, and radio
adaptations of the book.
