GOOD
IN PARTS
The
Text, The Whole Text, and Nothing But The Text
Saturday 21 December 2019 No. 163 Free
Most of the Classic Novels were first presented to the reader either in three volumes or in weekly instalments, so the reader was used to the idea of reading the book in parts.

Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol Part 4
