Adopted at more than 1,000 colleges and universities, Bedford/St. Martin's innovative Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism series has introduced more than a quarter of a million students to literary theory and earned enthusiastic praise nationwide. Along with an authoritative text of a major literary work, each volume presents critical essays, selected or prepared especially for students, that approach the work from several contemporary critical perspectives, such as gender criticism and cultural studies.

The first of Dickens' novels that I have read, it captured my attention from the start. The relation among all the characters was amazing. However, I read it for school, so my version was the abridged one. Very engrossing read. I now look forward to discovering more of Dickens' novels. ( )
