1836 Dickens Oliver Title Twist
EDITORS COMMENTS
Title Page: Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, published in 1836 This title page, taken from the first edition of Charles Dickens' seminal novel, "Oliver Twist," transports us back to the historical landscape of 19th-century England. Published in three monthly installments between December 1834 and April 1835, the novel was later collected and published as a single volume in 1836. The title page showcases the intricate typography and design elements of the era, with the title "Oliver Twist" boldly displayed at the top, followed by the author's name, "By Charles Dickens," and the publisher's information, "London: Printed for Richard Bentley, New-Street Square, and Thomas Tegg, 73, Fleet-Street." The image of a small, barefoot boy, reaching out with an extended hand, imploringly asking for "more," has become an iconic symbol of Dickens' storytelling prowess and the plight of the impoverished children in Victorian England. The title page serves as an invitation to delve into the world of Oliver Twist, a tale of adventure, hardship, and redemption that continues to captivate readers and inspire adaptations to this day. The intricate detailing on the title page, from the delicate flourishes of the typography to the subtle use of color, offers a glimpse into the rich history of book publishing during the Victorian era. This title page is not only a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles Dickens and his masterpiece, "Oliver Twist," but also a fascinating window into the world of 19th-century literature and design.
