FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM. A fine copy.
Includes three volumes - Master Humphrey\'s Clock, Barnaby Rudge & The Old Curiosity Shop.
Master Humphrey\'s Clock was a weekly periodical edited and written entirely by Charles Dickens and published from April 4, 1840. It began with a frame story in which Master Humphrey tells about himself and his small circle of friends (which includes Mr. Pickwick), and their penchant for telling stories. Several short stories were added, followed by the novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge in 1841. First edition in book form of Dickens’s experiment, unique in his canon, of publishing two novels together, both were republished as separate novels on the same day as the third volume here; this format has primacy. Hablot K. Browne (Phiz) provided 154 of the 198 in-text illustrations. Browne illustrated this work as it was being written; not having the advantage of reading and analyzing the book before making his preliminary drawings (Hodnett, 110). Hatton & Cleaver, 163-182. Eckel, 67-70. Gimbel A50. Most later anthologies published the short stories and the novels separately.. A classic work. Complete as issued.
