With an Introduction and Notes by Karl Ashley Smith, University of
St Andrews. Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). Mr Dombey is
a man obsessed with his firm. His son is groomed from birth to take
his place within it, despite his visionary eccentricity and
declining health. But Dombey also has a daughter, whose unfailing
love for her father goes unreturned. 'Girls' said Mr Dombey, 'have
nothing to do with Dombey and Son'. When Walter Gay, a young clerk
in her father's office, rescues her from a bewildering experience
in the streets of London, his unforgettable friends believe he is
well on his way to receiving her hand in marriage and inheriting
the company. It is to be a very different type of story. Dombey and
Son moved grown men to tears (Thackeray despaired of 'writing
against such power as this'), but its rich, comic characters and
their joyful explosions of language draw laughter with equally
unerring magic.
