Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Master Humphrey s Clock was a weekly periodical edited and written entirely by Charles Dickens and published from 4 April 1840 to 4 December 1841. It began with a frame story in which Master Humphrey tells about himself and his small circle of friends (which includes Mr. Pickwick), and their penchant for telling stories. Several short stories were included, followed by the novels The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. It is generally thought that Dickens originally intended The Old Curiosity Shop as a short story like the others that had appeared in Master Humphrey s Clock, but aer a few chapters decided to extend it into a novel. Master Humphrey appears as the first-person narrator in the first three chapters of The Old Curiosity Shop but then disappears, stating, And now that I have carried this history so far in my own character and introduced these personages to the reader, I shall for the convenience of the narrative detach myself from its further course, and leave those who have prominent and necessary parts in it to speak and act for themselves. Master Humphrey is a lonely man who lives in London. He keeps old manuscripts in an antique longcase clock by the chimney-corner. One day, he decides that he would start a little club, called Master Humphrey s Clock, where the members would read out their manuscripts to the others. The members include Master Humphrey; a deaf gentleman, Jack Redburn; retired merchant Owen Miles; and Mr. Pickwick from The Pickwick Papers. A mirror club in the kitchen, Mr. Weller s Watch, run by Mr. Weller, has members including Humphrey s maid, the barber and Sam Weller. Master Humphrey s Clock appeared...

  • Master Humphrey's Clock Charles Dickens CHAPTER I
    Master Humphrey's Clock Charles Dickens CHAPTER I - MASTER HUMPHREY, FROM HIS CLOCK-SIDE IN THE CHIMNEY CORNER THE reader must not expect to know where I live. At present, it is true, my abode may be a question of little or no import to anybody; but if I should carry my readers with me, as I hope to do, and there should spring up between them and me feelings of homely affection and regard attaching something of interest to matters ever so slightly connected with my fortunes or my speculations, even my place of residence might one day have a kind of charm for them. Bearing this possible contingency in mind, I wish them to understand, in the outset, that they must never expect to know it. I am not a churlish old man. Friendless I can never be, for all mankind are my kindred, and I am on ill terms with no one member of my great family. But for many years I have led a lonely, solitary life; - what wound I sought to heal, what sorrow to forget, originally, matters not now; it is sufficient that retirement has become a habit with me, and that I am unwilling to break the spell which for so long a time has shed its quiet influence upon my home and heart. I live in a venerable suburb of London, in an old house which in bygone days was a famous resort for merry roysterers and peerless ladies, long since departed. It is a silent, shady place, with a paved courtyard so full of echoes, that sometimes I am tempted to believe that faint responses to the noises of old times linger there yet, and that these ghosts of sound haunt my footsteps as I pace it up and down.

It became highly popular amongst its readers as soon as Dickens began publishing his serial long novel in Master Humphrey's Clock. It was published in England and also in the United States. Readers in both countries became absorbed in the story as it proceeded and approached its ending. In particular, readers in the latter country were completely crazy about Nell's movements. It is said that the crowd shouted, 'Is Little Nell dead?' unanimously at the port in New York when the ship with the newest issue of the magazine arrived there.' They were shocked at and grieved over Nell's death. In spite of the applause and devotion for this story amongst readers, it was severely criticized by a number of theorists and writers of Dickens's time. Of course, there were also many critics in his time who praised the story and Dickens. According to Ford, Daniel O'Connell 'was so upset by the death scene that he burst into tears and threw the book out the window' (Ford 56). Fielding says, 'Lord Jeffrey, the old critic of the Edinburgh Review, declared there was "nothing so good as Nell since Cordelia" ' (Fielding 64).

    -- OXFORD WORLD'S CLASSICS CHARLES DICKENS THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP OXFORD WORLD'S CLASSICS CHARLES DICKENS The Old Curiosity Shop With the Original Illustrations Edited with an Introduction by ELIZABETH M. BRENNAN OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INTRODUCTION In the ten years from 1827 to 1837 Charles Dickens rose from 15-year­ old solicitors' clerk to 25-year-old author, known for a remarkably wide range of journalistic and literary work. His firststories and sketches of people and places, contributed to newspapers and magazines from 1833 onwards, were collected as Sketches by Boz in February 1836 and Sketches by Boz: Second Series that December. Subsequently issued­ as Pickwick Papers and Nicholas Nick/eby had been-in twenty monthly parts, in I 839 they were published complete in one volume. Between 1837 and 1839 Dickens edited and contributed to Bentley's Miscellany-a monthly magazine published by Richard Bentley­ wrote the second half of Pickwick Papers, all of Oliver Twist (for serial­ ization in Bentley's Miscellany)--and the first half of Nicholas Nickleby. He had also signed a contract to deliver Barnaby Rudge to Bentley on I January 1840. However, as his friendand biographer John Forster recorded, Dickens felt that his public was 'likely to tire of the same twenty numbers over again'. Unwilling to embark on the composition of another long story 'with all its strain on his fancy',1 he conceived the idea of producing his own weekly periodical of miscellaneous items­ stories, sketches, and satirical commentary on life--organized round an elderly cripple, Master Humphrey, and his friends,and called, with reference to the clock-case in which their work was stored, Master Humphrey's Clock.

Now, you can storm the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and pick up one of these other riveting reads! The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens Read the original tale of Nell and her grandfather that was published in serial form from 1840 to 1841. It was an unprecedented literary phenomenon in the nineteenth century. Barnaby Rudge by Charles Dickens In addition to The Old Curiosity Shop, Barnaby Rudge was the other novel that Dickens published in his short-lived (1840–1841) weekly serial, Master Humphrey's Clock. In this story, a young man's innocent involvement in a revolt serves as the basis for Dickens's historical novel about the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780. My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman Bullied at school and left out at home, seven-year-old Elsa relies on her grandmother for love and attention.

This naïve reader, let us say, wanders into a special collections library and sees for the first time something that many other (less naïve) readers have undoubtedly seen over the past century and a half: a copy of the first edition of a well-known Victorian serial novel. She had probably read somewhere or other that this novel, like so many of the most famous Victorian novels, was originally published in parts—but perhaps this fact never struck her as particularly significant. Upon opening to the first printed page, however, our reader is startled to note something she had not read: the text of the novel is preceded by pages upon pages of advertisements. Not being a Victorian her- self, she is unlikely to turn past these ads as she might turn past a page of ads in a contemporary magazine; like messages addressed to someone other than the reader, the ads present at once an obstacle to reading and an inducement to read on, or to read differently.

  • Master Humphrey's Clock
    MASTER HUMPHREY’S CLOCK DEDICATION OF “MASTER HUMPHREY’S CLOCK” TO SAMUEL ROGERS, ESQUIRE. My Dear Sir, Let me have my Pleasures of Memory in connection with this book, by dedicating it to a Poet whose writings (as all the world knows) are replete with generous and earnest feeling; and to a man whose daily life (as all the world does not know) is one of active sympathy with the poorest and humblest of his kind. Your faithful friend, CHARLES DICKENS. ADDRESS BY CHARLES DICKENS. 4th April, 1840. Master Humphrey earnestly hopes, (and is almost tempted to believe,) that all degrees of readers, young or old, rich or poor, sad or merry, easy of amusement or difficult to entertain, may find something agreeable in the face of his old clock. That, when they have made its acquaintance, its voice may sound cheerfully in their ears, and be suggestive of none but pleasant thoughts. That they may come to have favourite and familiar associations connected with its name, and to look for it as for a welcome friend. From week to week, then, Master Humphrey will set his clock, trusting that while it counts the hours, it will sometimes cheat them of their heaviness, and that while it marks the thread of Time, it will scatter a few slight flowers in the Old Mower’s path. Until the specified period arrives, and he can enter freely upon that confidence with his readers which he is impatient to maintain, he may only bid them a short farewell, and look forward to their next meeting.
