Oliver Twist ; or, The parish boy's progress / Charles Dickens ; edited with an introduction and notes by Philip Horne.

Scathing in its indictment of a cruel society and pervaded by a sense of threat and mystery, this novel is peopled with some of the most famous characters in literature. Elements of the Gothic Romance jostle with those of the Newgate novel and popular melodrama forging a style entirely Dickens'.
