This edition of "OLIVER TWIST" is bound in the publisher's original boards and is missing illustrations as called for after publication, thus has not been altered since original issue. Charles Dickens was born February 7, 1812 in Portsmouth, England. Forced to leave school to work in a boot-blackening factory from ages 12-15 to help pay off his father's debts, Dickens would take these early experiences alongside a love of reading, writing, and desire for fame and fortune into an immensely successful career as a novelist and journalist. "Oliver Twist" was the second novel Dickens wrote. Originally published as a serial from 1837 to 1839 in the magazine "Bentley's Miscellany". The novelization would come about first as a three-volume work under "Boz", a pseudonym Dickens used in his early works "Sketches by Boz" with origins in the mispronunciation of "Moses" as "Boses". This nickname can still be found in this first American edition "(BOZ!)" on the title page. "Oliver Twist" would break ground as the first Victorian era novel with a child protagonist, its depictions of poverty and life as a child working in a factory, and would become one of Dicken's most known stories. "Oliver Twist" was and remains a highly regarded work by critics and audiences alike. However, it would come under fire in it's early printing for it's portrayal of the character of Fagin who's ethnicity is constantly referenced as "the Jew". Despite at first reacting defensively to early critiques of antisemitism Dickens would change the book so that past the first 38 chapters references to Fagin as "the Jew" were nearly nonexistent. 1388368.
