December Series of the Month: The Complete Works of Charles Dickens

With Christmas right around the corner, it's inevitable that Scrooge and Oliver Twist will be popping up on everyone's television. However, Charles Dickens' fascinating works are truest in their original form — books.

Charles Dickens is iconic, legendary, and masterfully clever.

But it was his stirring portraits and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century.

This essential collector's set will excite librarians, professors, students of literature, and the passionate reader. Cosimo offers this series by individual volume at leading online bookstores or as a full 30-volume set in hardcover or paperback. If you are interested in purchasing the full set, please contact us.

September Quote of the Month: Never do tomorrow what you can do today - Charles Dickens

This month, we have selected our September inspirational message from one of the greatest Classic household names:

"Never do to-morrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time."

-- Charles Dickens in David Copperfield (The Complete Works of Charles Dickens)

It is impossible to overstate the importance of British novelist Charles Dickens not only to literature in the English language, but to Western civilization on the whole. He is arguably the first fiction writer to have become an international celebrity. He popularized episodic fiction and the cliffhanger, which had a profound influence on the development of film and television. He is entirely responsible for the popular image of Victorian London that still lingers today, and his characters (from Oliver Twist to Ebenezer Scrooge, from Miss Havisham to Uriah Heep) have become not merely iconic, but mythic.

But it was his stirring portraits of ordinary people, not the upper classes or the aristocracy, and his fervent cries for social, moral, and legal justice for the working poor, and in particular for poor children, in the grim early decades of the Industrial Revolution that powerfully impacted social concerns well into the 20th century. Without Charles Dickens, we may never have seen the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Upton Sinclair, or even Bob Dylan. 

Here, in 30 beautiful volumes (complete with all the original illustrations) is every published word written by one of the most important writers ever. The essential collector's set will delight anyone who cherishes English literature... and who takes pleasure in constantly rediscovering its joys. This volume contains Part I of David Copperfield, which was originally serialized in standalone installments in 1849. Dickens drew on his own life story for this tale of the life of the title character, and it is considered the most autobiographical of his works. It was Dickens's own favorite, and the work considered the best by many literary observers, including Tolstoy.
