Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers – a comic masterpiece that catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass the lover Tupman the sportsman Winkle and above all by that quintessentially English Quixote Mr Pickwick and his cockney Sancho Panza Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election via the Fleet debtor’s prison characters and incidents sprang to life from Dickens’s pen to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humor and literary invention.

A good sound unsophisticated copy and very scarce complete in the original cloth.<br /> <br /> § Thomas Onwhyn's additional illustrations for Dickens's Pickwick Papers intended to be bound into copies of the novel and very uncommonly found as a set in wrappers or as here bound in cloth. Onwhyn's additional 32 illustrations were issued in eight parts for the most part signed with the pseudonym Samuel Weller but some bear Onwhyn's initials. Additional illustrations were published for many of Dickens's successful novels. "Whether by the same or rival publishers extra-illustrations became part of the marketing of his works. the early sets participated in the periodicity of Dickens's monthly publications in that they were also published in monthly parts to be completed with the completion of the text; they were advertised on the wrappers and in the Advertisers" Luisa Calé "Dickens Extra-Illustrated: Heads and Scenes in Monthly Parts" The Yearbook of English Studies vol. 40 nos. 1/2 2010.

A beautiful set. FIRST EDITION AND A BEAUTIFUL COPY IN AN EXCELLENT STATE OF PRESERVATION. This was the second to last book that Dickens would write and the last one that he would actually finish. The years shortly before the publication of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND were fraught with domestic sorrow that would lead to his eventual decline. He separated from his wife Catherine in 1858 after his admiration for the young actress Ellen Ternan strained his already deteriorating marriage. He further had to defend himself against scandal and protest his innocence when wagging tongues of gossip linked his name to his sister-in-law Georgina’s who had served as his housekeeper for many years. He threw his restless energy into increased productivity and public readings of his work both of which were physically and emotionally exhausting. He suffered from recurrent illnesses during the creation of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND but nonetheless managed to maintain the level of genius in his prose that had pervaded his previous works. He died unexpectedly only five years later while he was writing THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD.<br> He had with this novel “.for the first time given serious consideraiton to the theme of unrequited love. In earlier books it may have been secret or ill-timed but there was always and equilibrium in which both parties seem to accept that they loved or can be loved; and that when eventually they declare their love it is not rejected.†But “there is torture in love and despair and madness. There is some necessary connection between courtship and death.so tht.it is possible to trace the strange curve of Dickens’ temperment exploring extremity in art if not necessarily life.†Ackroyd 955<br> Like most of Dickens’ work OUR MUTUAL FRIEND was published in monthly serial parts the first in May of 1864 and the last in November of 1865. This two-volume set was released almost immediately after the issue of the final episode. An extremely well-preserved set of the first edition of one of Dickens’ final efforts.

Browne. In near fine condition bookplates to the front pastedown. Master Humphrey's Clock originally appeared in the form of a weekly periodical published between April of 1840 and December of 1841. Entirely written and edited by Dickens the magazine included both short stories and two novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. Many of the short stories acted as frame stories to the novels and although Dickens' original artistic intent was to keep the short stories and the novels together he himself cancelled Master Humphrey's Clock before 1848 and described in a preface to The Old Curiosity Shop that he wished the story to not be tied down to the miscellany it began within. Most later anthologies published the short stories and the novels separately. However the short stories and the novels were published in 1840 in three bound volumes under the title Master Humphrey's Clock which retains the full and correct ordering of texts as they originally appeared.
