Discovering Dickens: A Community Reading Project
In December 1860, the first serialized part of
Dickens' Great Expectations hit the streets of London.
Now, in December 2002, you are invited to read
Dickens' Great Expectations as Victorians did --
reading each short part weekly, either in a group of
family and friends or alone, and enjoying the
anticipation of each new part.
You can sign up to receive a newsprint facsimile each
week or download the PDFs from this website. A new
issue will be published on the website each Wednesday,
along with a reader's guide with maps, illustrations
and a glossary of terms and historical references.
Stanford is proud to share with you one of the fine
holdings of its Special Collections, as well as to
invite you to join in a community experience of an
arrestingly modern piece of fiction that just happens
to be 140 years old.
