  Dickens' second novel is a compelling portrait of the clash between the innocence of childhood and a dark criminal underworld inhabited by a vivid cast of wicked or compromised characters. This new edition aims to place this mythical story of the struggle between good and evil firmly within the context of the early Victorian attitudes to crime and its punishment, and Dickens' own evolution as a novelist.

  I have thrown my whole heart and soul into Oliver Twist , wrote young Charles Dickens in 1836. After the work was published, Oliver and Mr. Bumble soon became household words. In tracing the boy's story, Dickens made a scathing comment on the inhumanity of the newly enacted Poor Law and startled readers with his convincing picture of the criminal underworld. This edition includes eight plates from Cruikshank's original illustrations.
