Description

Hardcover in dust-jacket. 159 pages. Index. First Edition. Red buckram in original dust-jacket. Contains nine chapters wherein the author postulates his theories about Dickens’ message of how to live “in the world, and of it”, first expressed in “David Copperfield”. The last four chapters focus on Dickens’ last two novels, “Our Mutual Friend” and “The Mystery of Edwin Drood”. Possibly the most startling thesis is Hornback’s contention that Drood was a “finished’ novel”. Fine in very good dust-jacket.
