Pickwick Monthly No. 1, Chs 1-2 The Pickwickians

Описание: Chapter 1: The Pickwickians
Chapter 2: The first Day’s Journey, and the first Evening’s Adventures; with their Consequences
Cohost: Kevin Quinn
In this episode we’ll meet Mr. Pickwick and begin our adventures with the Pickwick Club.

The first number of the new serial The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was published at the end of March 1836 by Chapman and Hall in London. Originally Charles Dickens was hired to provide humorous stories to accompany the pictures of artist Robert Seymour. Almost immediately Dickens’ fictional characters overtook the illustrations and a novel, of sorts, was born.

Join the Rosenbach Museum and Library for a monthly journey through Charles Dickens’ The Pickwick Papers. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was the first serialized novel written by Dickens and was published in 20 monthly parts (2-3 chapters per month) from March 1836-October 1837. Edward G. Pettit and a rotating set of Dickensian cohosts will talk about each serialized part once a month from March 2023-October 2024. You will relive Dickens’ funniest novel just as his first readers did.

The Rosenbach has in its collections the complete serial issues of The Pickwick Papers, a portion of the Pickwick manuscript, as well as many first editions, the earliest surviving literary manuscript, letters, ephemera, and a lock of Charles Dickens’ hair.

Thank you to the University of Victoria for sharing their digitized copy of the Pickwick Papers.
