This ninth volume presents about 1,100 letters, many unpublished, from the years 1859 to 1861. It records the writing of two major novels, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations; the planning and writing of a substantial amount of the three Christmas numbers of this period, `A Haunted House', `A Message from the Sea', and `Tom Tiddler's Ground'; and the establishment of All the Year Round as a new journal to succeed Household Words. It also shows Dickens's delight with his new Kentish home, Gad's Hill.
A detailed analysis of the novel's principal themes and unique structure reveals why it occupies a pivotal position in Dickens' career because of its concern with some of the most intractable social and political issues of his day.
Cambridge English Prose Texts consists of volumes devoted to
selections from non-fictional English prose of the late sixteenth
to the mid-nineteenth centuries. This volume is concerned with
radical prose from the period 1642-60 and comprises political
pamphlets covering the years of the Civil War and the Commonwealth.
All the pamphlets are revolutionary in varying degrees: two by
Milton, The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates and The Readie and the
Easie Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth; one each by the three
Leveller leaders, Lilburne, Walwyn and Overton; one by the Digger,
Winstanley and one by the Republican, Harrington. There is a
substantial introduction to the whole volume in which the editors
offer a historical survey of the period, consider the intellectual
and political context of the pamphlets, sketch in significant
biographical details and examine the various styles which the
writers employ. This book will prove to be an indispensable tool
for all serious students of seventeenth-century literature, history
and political theory.
