Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist

"Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist (1837-9) is one of the most influential novels of the Victorian era. Since its publication, numerous adaptations of the novel, for both stage and screen, have ensured its continued impact in the cultural consciousness." "Taking the form of a sourcebook, this guide to Dickens's novel offers: extensive introductory comment on the contexts, critical history, adaptations 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; and suggestions for further reading." "Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for all those beginning 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's text."--Jacket.
