GOOD IN PARTS
    

The Text, The Whole Text, and Nothing But The Text

 

Saturday19 December 2020    No. 216                   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.  We have borrowed this presentation so that you, dear reader, can try the experience.  It may be particularly salutary for those who are a little awestruck by some of the longer novels... 

 

CONTENTS  

Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice  

Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre

 Henry Fielding: Tom Jones 

Charles Dickens: David Copperfield  

Frances Hodgson Burnett: The Secret Garden

Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol

Sir Walter Scott: Rob Roy

The copyright of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby expires on 31 December and we shall include it (in Parts, of course) starting on 2 January 2021 the slight delay being to allow for all the midnights in the USA.
