内容简介

Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist is one of the most significant novels of the Victorian era and having been adapted for both stage and screen, retains its impact in the cultural consciousness of many nations. Taking the form of a sourcebook, this guide to Dickens’ novel includes: extensive introductory comment on the contexts, critical history and interpretations of the text, from publication to the present annotated extracts from key contextual documents, reviews, critical works and the text itself cross-references between documents and sections of the guide, in order to suggest links between texts, contexts and criticism suggestions for further reading. Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for those beginning a detailed study of Oliver Twist and seeking not only a guide to the novel, but a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds Dickens’ text.
