More about this item
The Old Curiosity Shop
by Charles Dickens
1987 Edition
Giants, dwarfs, tricksters - here is the dark side of Dickens at its most powerful and bizarre.
The story of Lil Nell, described as a 'tragedy of sorrows', tells of Nell uprooted from a secure and innocent childhood and cast into a world where evil takes many shapes, the most fascinating of which is Quilp. He is Nell's destroyer, and it is his demonic energy that dominates the book.
The Old Curiosity Shop contrasts: youth & old age, beauty & deformity, freedom & restraint.
Expansively comic, sentimentally tragic, sometimes fairytale, sometimes myth & often Victorian life at its most black - haunted by the figures that live in the shadows.
