            GOOD IN PARTS

    

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

                          

     Saturday 27 November 2021  No. 265       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... 

We are currently leaning towards amusing books, together with a spot of melodrama, to help us to burrow our way to the end of the pandemic.

 

CONTENTS  

E. M. Hull: The Sheik

A. G. Macdonell: England, Their England

E. F. Benson: Mapp and Lucia Saga

Charles Dickens: The Pickwick Papers

Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet): Candide

 

plus our seasonal bonus Ghost Story

Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol
