• Charles Dickens.

  The Old Curiosity Shop broke hearts across Britain and North America when it first appeared. Later readers, however, have found it excessively sentimental, especially the pathos surrounding the death of its child-heroine Little Nell.

The events in Martin Chuzzlewit become a vehicle for the novel’s theme: selfishne...
