Oliver Twist (Modern Library Classics)

by Charles Dickens

Oliver Twist (Modern Library Classics) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dickens's classic morality tale of a starving orphan caught between opposing forces of good and evil is a powerful indictment of Victorian England's Poor Laws. Filled with dark humor and an unforgettable cast of characters Oliver Twist, Fagin, Nancy, Bill Sykes, and the Artful Dodger, to name a few Dickens's second novel is a compelling social satire that has remained popular since it was first serialized in 1837-39.

The text for this Modern Library Paperback Classic is taken from the 1846 New Edition, revised and corrected by the author. It includes new explanatory notes and an appendix, A Brief History of the English Poor Laws.

Synopsis:

In this widely popular classic - a morality tale of a starving orphan caught in the grinding jaws of poverty and fought over by opposing forces of Good and Evil - Dickens creates a powerful social satire that illuminates the cruelty of Victorian England's New Poor Act.
