DOWNLOAD EBOOKOur Mutual Friend (1864-5) Dickens’ last completed novel, has been critically praised as a profound and troubled masterpiece, and yet is has received far less scholarly attention than his other major works. This volume is the first book-length study of the novel. It explores every aspect of Dickens’ sustained imaginative involvement with his age. In particular its original research into hitherto neglected sources reveals not only Dickens’ reactions to the important developments during the 1860s in education, finance and the administration of poverty, but also his interest in phenomena as diverse as waste collection and the Shakespeare tercentenary. The Companion to Our Mutual Friend demonstrates the varied resources of artistry that inform the novel, and it provides the reader with a fundamental source of information about one of Dickens’ most complex works.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Our Mutual Friend, Vol. 1 of 2 This romance was published in monthly numbers, extending from May, 1864, to November, Dickens had con ceived some of the characters and incidents of the story as far back as 1861. The feeling of improbability, which the least critical reader experiences in following the course of the narra tive, is partly accounted for by the way in which the author picked up its materials. Almost everything in it is excep tional; but it may be said that portions which shock even the eager and ready credulity of the ordinary novel reader were founded on facts. In his wanderings by the banks of the Thames, he had seen hand-bills posted up, indicating that fishing for the bodies of persons drowned in the river was a regular business of some degraded watermen; and his ready imagination suggested the characters of Hexam and Rogue Riderhood. At Chatham, while once walking with Leech, the artist, both were struck and amused by Observing a father and son together, the uneducated father in fustian and the educated boy in spectacles. Charley Hexam was the exten sion of the educated boy Marcus Stone, the illustrator of Our Mutual Friend, had discovered a queer character engaged in a strange trade, and carried Dickens to see him; and the result was the introduction into the story of Mr. Venus, preserver of animals and birds, and articulator of human bones. Mr. Riah, the patriarchal and benevolent old Jew, was made quite a prominent character in the book, be cause a Jewish lady, whom Dickens highly esteemed, consid ered that Fagin, in Oliver Twist, was calculated to bring reproach on the Jewish religion as well as on the Jewish race.
