The Adventures Of Oliver Twist
By Charles Dickens
Published by Cassell And Company Limited: London c1895
"
The Adventures of Oliver Twist is one of Charles Dickens's most enduring novels, first published in the late 1830s and here issued in a late-nineteenth-century Cassell edition dating to around 1895. The story follows the orphaned Oliver as he escapes the brutalities of the parish workhouse and is drawn into the criminal underworld of London, encountering unforgettable characters such as Fagin, the Artful Dodger, Nancy, and the menacing Bill Sikes. Through vivid narrative and sharp characterisation, Dickens exposes the cruelty of institutional poverty, child exploitation, and social hypocrisy in Victorian England, blending social realism with moments of humour, sentiment, and moral urgency.
This Cassell & Company edition reflects the continued popularity of Dickens's work at the close of the nineteenth century, produced for a broad reading public in Britain and the Empire, including Australia. Solidly bound and clearly printed, it represents the period's respect for Dickens as both a moral voice and a master storyteller whose novels remained essential reading decades after first publication. This volume would particularly appeal to collectors of Victorian literature, admirers of Charles Dickens, and readers interested in classic social novels that shaped nineteenth-century literary and cultural consciousness.
