About This Item
Very Good, with spines and several covers neatly restored, and general wear and light soiling; inked name or notation on front cover of Nos. 8, 14. Small scrape to ad at rear of No. 16. Housed in a custom dark green morocco and cloth case. The original serialized appearance of the last novel Dickens completed, with a phenomenal amount of advertisements and slips that deepen the reader's immersion in mid-19th century London.
Synopsis
Our Mutual Friend (written in the years 1864–65) is the last novel completed by Charles Dickens and is in many ways one of his most sophisticated works, combining deep psychological insight with rich social analysis. At one level it centres on, in the words of critic J. Hillis Miller, "money, money, money, and what money can make of life" but in a deeper sense it's also about 'human values'.
