Introduction and Notes by Dr T.C.B. Cook Illustrations by Hablot K.
Browne (Phiz). Following the success of Pickwick Papers and Oliver
Twist, Nicholas Nickleby was hailed as a comic triumph and firmly
established Dickens as a 'literary gentleman'. It has a full
supporting cast of delectable characters that range from the
iniquitous Wackford Squeers and his family, to the delightful Mrs
Nickleby, taking in the eccentric Crummles and his travelling
players, the Mantalinis, the Kenwigs and many more. Combining these
with typically Dickensian elements of burlesque and farce, the
novel is eminently suited to dramatic adaptation. So great was the
impact as it left Dickens' pen that many pirated versions appeared
in print before the original was even finished. Often neglected by
critics, Nicholas Nickleby has never ceased to delight readers and
is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic masterpieces of
nineteenth-centure literature.
