{"product_id":"great-expectations-a-norton-critical-edition","title":"Great Expectations (A Norton Critical Edition)","description":"The newly established text is based on all extant materials and is accompanied by several textual essays.\n\n\"Backgrounds\" provides readers with an understanding of Great Expectations's inception and internal chronology. A discussion of the public-reading version of the novel is also included. A wonderfully rich \"Contexts\" section collects thirteen pieces, centering on the novel's major themes: the link between author and hero and, relatedly, Victorian notions of gentility, snobbishness, and social mobility; the often brutal training, at home and at school, of children born around 1800; and the central issues of crime and punishment.\n\n\"Criticism\" gathers twenty-two assessments of Great Expectations, both contemporary and modern, which offer a range of perspectives on Dickens and his novel.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393960692\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0393960692.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dickens, Charles|Rosenberg, Edgar\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
