Introduction and Notes by Dr Ella Westland, University of Exeter.
Illustrations by George Cruickshank. Dickens had already achieved
renown with The Pickwick Papers. With Oliver Twist his reputation
was enhanced and strengthened. The novel contains many classic
Dickensian themes - grinding poverty, desperation, fear, temptation
and the eventual triumph of good in the face of great adversity.
Oliver Twist features some of the author's most enduring
characters, such as Oliver himself (who dares to ask for more), the
tyrannical Bumble, the diabolical Fagin, the menacing Bill Sikes,
Nancy and 'the Artful Dodger'. For any reader wishing to delve into
the works of the great Victorian literary colossus, Oliver Twist
is, without doubt, an essential title.
