"Oliver Twist subtitled The Parish Boy's Progress is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens published by Richard Bentley in 1838. The story is about an orphan Oliver Twist who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse and then is placed with an undertaker. He escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Naively unaware of their unlawful activities Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin. Oliver Twist is notable for Dickens' unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives.1 The book exposed the cruel treatment of many a waif-child in London which increased international concern in what is sometimes known as "The Great London Waif Crisis": the large number of orphans in London in the Dickens era. The book's subtitle The Parish Boy's Progress alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress and also to a pair of popular 18th-century caricature series by William Hogarth A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.2 An early example of the social novel the book calls the public's attention to various contemporary evils including child labour the recruitment of children as criminals and the presence of street children. Dickens mocks the hypocrisies of his time by surrounding the novel's serious themes with sarcasm and dark humour. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blincoe an orphan whose account of hardships as a child labourer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's own early youth as a child labourer contributed to the story's development.3 Oliver Twist has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations and is the basis for a highly successful musical play and the multiple Academy Award winning 1968 motion picture made from it.

The three-decker publication date was 9 November 1839 and within a week at Dickens's insistence the title-pages were changed to include his name and the "Church" version of the final plate was substituted for the "Fireside" version. Smith I 4. Oliver Twist is the second novel by Charles Dickens and was first published as a serial 1837-39. The story is of the orphan Oliver Twist who starts his life in a workhouse and is then sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker. He escapes from there and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger a member of a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the elderly criminal Fagin. Oliver Twist is notable for its unromantic portrayal by Dickens of criminals and their sordid lives as well as for exposing the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid-19th century. "My dear child' said the old gentleman moved by the warmth of Oliver's sudden appeal 'you need not be afraid of my deserting you unless you give me cause.' I never never will sir' interposed Oliver." In this early example of the social novel Dickens satirizes the hypocrisies of his time including child labor the recruitment of children as criminals and the presence of street children. The novel may have been inspired by the story A Memoir of of Robert Blincoe 1832 an orphan whose account of working as a child laborer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's own youthful experiences contributed as well. Oliver Twist has been the subject of numerous adaptations for various media including a highly successful musical play Oliver! and the multiple Academy Award-winning 1968 motion picture which featured Mark Lester as Oliver Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger Ron Moody as Fagin and Oliver Reed as Bill Sykes.

Dickens Charles: Wills Henry W. editorABAA

OLD LEAVES: GATHERED FROM HOUSEHOLD WORDS

1860WRCLIT64144London: Chapman & Hall 1860. Contemporary three quarter brown morocco and marbled boards a.e.g. Binding worn joints mended some restoration to spine front binder's free endsheet cracking at gutter; just a sound copy. First edition. An uncommon collection containing fifteen of Dickens' articles including some well-known pieces: "A Curious Dance Round a Curious Tree" "A Plated Article" and "Valentine's Day at the Post Office." Dickens revised the texts of these pieces for this book publication and Wills dedicated the volume to Dickens. The editor's copy with his bookplate William Henry Wills on the front paste-down and a statement written out by a later owner in ink on a prelim narrating the provenance of this volume: it stayed with Wills' widow "formerly Miss Janet Chambers" until her death in 1892 when "Mr. Wills' library was inherited by my aunt Lady Priestly and is now in the possession of her son Dr. R. Priestly and to a smaller extent in that of her second son Mr. J.G. Priestly K.G. who presented me with this volume. G.E.S. Chambers. Edinburgh. May 1911." William Henry Wills' lifelong association with Dickens began in the fall of 1845 when Wills became the novelist's personal secretary and general administrative assistant. Wills had contributed to Bentley's MISCELLANY in 1837 had been a member of the literary staff of PUNCH at its founding in 1841 and had served since 1842 as assistant editor of Chambers's JOURNAL in Edinburgh. "On John Forster's suggestion Wills was made assistant editor of 'Household Words' and was given the same position by Dickens when ten years later 'All the Year Round' was incorporated with it. His business capacity was invaluable to Dickens and he was one of the most intimate friends of the novelist in later life. At the end of 1851 Wills accompanied Dickens on his theatrical tour in connection with the Guild of Literature and Art to the temporary success of which his exertions largely contributed. In 1868 while Dickens was in America Wills suffered concussion of the brain from an accident in the hunting field and was disabled from his duties as editor of 'All the Year Round.' He never recovered and retired from active work" - DNB. ECKEL pp.187-8. GIMBEL D35. SUZANNET E50. Chapman & Hall hardcover books
