Do you have Great Expectations?
We do.
In fact, we now have the first incarnation of this Charles Dickens classic as serialized in the weekly journal, All the Year Round, which was also “conducted” or edited by Dickens himself. It is now possible to read about Pip and the gang in the highly anticipated weekly installments that characterized popular story-telling in the 1860’s. Equally engaging are the other stories, articles, and social gossip such as “Cheating at Cards,” “Election Time America,” Chinamen’s Dinners,” and “The Queen of the Blue Stockings” that sandwich each new chapter. And as with Miss Havisham and her wedding dress, this version of Great Expectations will spend the rest of its life in Special Collections Room 314 along with the rest of our premier Dickens collection.
