A Christmas Carol - The Original Manuscript in Original Size - with Original Illustrations by Charles Dickens
Every year at the holidays, the historic Morgan Library & Museum in Manhattan displays one of the crown jewels of its extraordinary collection: the original manuscript of Charles Dickens sA Christmas Carol, with its detailed emendations, deletions, and insertions in Dickens s own hand. Here, for the first time in a beautiful trade edition, Editiotypeset version of the story, a fascinating introduction by the Morgan s chief literary curator on the history of the story, and a new foreword by Colm Toibin celebrating its timeless appeal.Charles Dickens (1812-1870) has been remembered in history as one of the greatest authors of the Victorian era. Not only having received tremendous success while he was alive, Charles Dickens' work continues to be read as voraciously as when it was first published. Because of his tremendous popularity, Charles Dickens has secured himself the position of not only being one of the greatest writers of his generation, but one of the most celebrated writers of all time. In addition to his writing, Charles Dickens was a prominent activist, dedicating much of his life to fighting for better social conditions for the poor as well as powerfully advocating for better laws to protect the rights of children. When a piece of literature refers to either unfair working and living conditions, or else portrays the state of a morally corrupt social class, the writing is thus referred to as Dickensian. Much of literary traditions thus owe their inspiration from the writing of Charles Dickens.
