Review
"The novel has everything: an absorbing melodrama, with a supporting cast of heroes, villains and eccentrics, set in a London where vast wealth and desperate poverty live cheek-by-jow" (Jasper Rees The Times)
"Nicholas Nickleby was a revelation. Here was a school - Dotheboy's Hall, with its grotesque headmaster, Wackford Squeers - which was even worse than the prison camp to which my poor innocent parents had confined me! The story of Dotheboy's Hall seemed horribly familiar - the beatings, the bad food. But here was something to which even a child could respond. As well as being sympathetic to the plight of the children, the author was hilarious" (A.N Wilson)
"Dickens is huge - like the sky. Pick any page of Dickens and it's immediately recognizable as him, yet he might be doing social satire, or farce, or horror, or a psychological study of a murderer - or any combination of these" (Susannah Clarke)

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Phiz (illustrator). First Thus. Paperback. Crease to front cover. With an Introduction by Peter Ackroyd. 'To what extent, and for what purpose did Dickens base his characters upon 'real' people. There is the obvious case of Squeers and Dotheboys Hall, since the description of both provoked many threats of libel writs from various real Yorkshire schoolamsters.'There seems indisputable evidence, then, that the lurid description in Nicholas Nickleby did in fact have a permanent effect upon the real word; single-handedly Dickens had been able, by exaggeration and grotesquerie, to extirpate a national abuse'. From Dickens by Peter Ackroyd. 926 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
