And so is literature. A novel can take you to places you never dreamed of and meet with people you mightnever have imagined on your own. And so can a play. But a novel and a play are two very different things, each with their own set of rules. A novel excites the reader simply with the use of words. A novel can color in the pictures it unfolds with all sorts of information and description. It can fill the mind with everything the writer wants the reader to know. And Charles Alan Stanford Dickens was the kind of writer who left nothing to the imagination. He wrote his novels in exquisite detail. And he wrote them, to a large degree, episodically. He could judge the readers reaction even as he was writing the story. The play is quite a different animal. Where a novel might have many thousands of words – and The Old curiosity shop has 127,490 words - a play is far shorter – this one has 24,046 including stage directions. Where the reader may enjoy a week or two of reading a novel, and audience member in the theatre needs to see and hear all in the space of a couple of hours. The process of adapting a novel into a play is therefore a process of metamorphosis, and of removing 103.000 words! Put quite simply, you cannot put a book on the stage. You must change it into a new form, a new being. When I was commissioned by The Gate Theatre in Dublin in 2007, to create this dramatization of The Old Curiosity Shop, I recognized at once that this would be no easy task. The story is so very rich, and so very beautiful; but the novel goes off into so many tangents that was like a jungle, and my task would be rather like hacking away all the undergrowth before I would see the pure story. And how pure that story is. Dickens always has a moral for us in all his stories and this one is no exception. The tale of Little Nell, a child who must become responsible for the adult who should be protecting her. The child who must flee from the threat of abuse. The child lost in a world of hunger and poverty and fear. Little Nell is the refugee at the door of all of us. Mansions on Fifth Hotel The staging such a piece is no easy task for the actors or the director. To tell such a tale simply and clearly and in only two and a half hours. However, a theme, found in the book, of a travelling Waxwork was the kind of literary tangent that Dickens always offers, and that adaptors and directors always love him for. This will be our third play from a Dickens novel in the space of five years. And we present them for a very good reason. At PICT we examine current social issues through the lens of classic tales. Charles Dickens was not only the greatest storyteller the world has ever seen but was also the most potent of social commentators. He spoke up for those without a voice. For those who, cry as they might, would not be heard. For the poor, the underprivileged, the abused, the lost. His novels brought a profound social awareness to the Victorian age; and it is true but sad to say that the same message he gave to Victorian England is just as valid in western, and particularly American society today. So, we leave you to read The Old Curiosity Shop at your leisure, but tonight we offer you “The Heartrending Tale of Little Nell”, which is probably what Dickens should have called it in the first place. Alan Stanford PICT – The Old Curiosity Shop 5 Message from the Board President What the Dickens? On behalf of the board of directors of PICT Classic Theatre, it is my pleasure The great English novelist Charles Dickens came to the very young to welcome you to our production of Jane Eyre. We are celebrating 21 years city of Pittsburgh 170 years ago. of producing a broad range of classic plays and modern Irish theatre.

His Jane Eyre was originally produced at the Gate Theatre in Dublin in Torrance, Pa., the trio arrived here on a canal and broke box office records at the Guthrie Theatre.

The play deals with the issues of personal integrity The Dickens spent three days in this young city and commitment and follows a young orphan girl as she develops into (with a population of 21,000) that he spelled womanhood. “Pittsburg” (although the “h” didn’t officially go away until 1890). Dickens’ travel memoir, American As most of you know, the price of a ticket does not cover all of the costs of Notes: For General Circulation, was candid and bringing wonderful theatre to the Pittsburgh community. We hope that you often snide: “Pittsburg is like Birmingham in England; at least its townspeople say so. Setting will consider donating to PICT and becoming an integral part of the PICT aside the streets, the shops, the houses, wagons, family. factories, public buildings and population, perhaps it may be.” Ouch. So please—sit back, relax and enjoy our production of Jane Eyre. He didn’t seem to mind the accommodations, however, stating, “We lodged at a most excellent hotel and were admirably served.” Although he didn’t identify it, that was the Exchange Hotel Peter Smerd at the corner of Penn Avenue and Sixth Street downtown (at or near where Heinz Hall is now). Rooms were a steep $1.50 per night. The couple stayed in Room 12, where fans and PICT Board President prominent citizens came to call after the Morning Chronicle reported that Dickens was in town. Among the visitors was William Foster, mayor of Allegheny City (not yet absorbed as the North Side), and his 16-year-old son Stephen — as in the future “father of American music,” Stephen Foster. While he was here, Dickens visited the Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary and the Arsenal, and saw enough of the town to remark that “It is very beautifully situated on the Alleghany River, over which there are two bridges.” On all three evenings, Dickens and his wife dined with portrait painter George D’Almaine, an old friend from London who relocated to Pittsburgh.

  • The Voice of Objects in the Old Curiosity Shop
    The Voice of Objects in The Old Curiosity Shop Michael Hollington Curiosities are objects on sale in an antique dealer’s - bric à brac, knick-knacks, souvenirs, mementos. So The Old Curiosity Shop is about what we can think of as commodities, objects on display and for sale. A fine new book by Catherine Waters, Commodity Culture in Household Words, offers plenty of material for a new focus on objects in Dickens which reinvigorates past, and some of it rather crude, Marxist criticism of Dickens’s works. Its focus is Dickens’s journalism, and that of the staff of the magazine he edited between 1850 and 1859, but its arguments can be used, as I do here, to provide an insight into the fiction. Even if the discussion of Dickens’s novel takes precedence here, and the consideration of its possible critical and theoretical underpinning is brief and largely confined to the end of the essay, my approach here is in fact an attempt to combine Waters’s work, both with an important but still little known essay on The Old Curiosity by the significant German philosopher and critic Theodor Adorno, and with some aspects of recent work by Bill Brown about what he calls ‘thing theory’. The essential thing I have to emphasise is how thoroughly and pervasively Dickens confuses the categories of persons and things. It is a kind of trademark of his imagination. Just as an initial example, the vicious lawyer Sampson Brass is described in chapter xii (100) as “the ugliest piece of goods in all the stock” at the Old Curiosity Shop, making him an item on sale like any other.

  • The Treatment of Children in the Novels of Charles
    THE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN THE NOVELS OF CHARLES DICKENS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY CLEOPATRA JONES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ATLANTA, GEORGIA AUGUST 1948 ? C? TABLE OF CONTENTS % Pag® PREFACE ii CHAPTER I. REASONS FOR DICKENS' INTEREST IN CHILDREN ....... 1 II. TYPES OF CHILDREN IN DICKENS' NOVELS 10 III. THE FUNCTION OF CHILDREN IN DICKENS' NOVELS 20 IV. DICKENS' ART IN HIS TREATMENT OF CHILDREN 33 SUMMARY 46 BIBLIOGRAPHY 48 PREFACE The status of children in society has not always been high. With the exception of a few English novels, notably those of Fielding, child¬ ren did not play a major role in fiction until Dickens' time. Until the emergence of the Industrial Revolution an unusual emphasis had not been placed on the status of children, and the emphasis that followed was largely a result of the insecure and often lamentable position of child¬ ren in the new machine age. Since Dickens wrote his novels during this period of the nineteenth century and was a pioneer in the employment of children in fiction, these facts alone make a study of his treatment of children an important one. While a great deal has been written on the life and works of Charles Dickens, as far as the writer knows, no intensive study has been made of the treatment of children in his novels. All attempts have been limited to chapters, or more accurately, to generalized statements in relation to his life and works.

  • 29 the Politics of Walking in Villette and Old Curiosity Shop
    International Journal of Advanced Educational Research International Journal of Advanced Educational Research ISSN: 2455-6157; Impact Factor: RJIF 5.12 www.educationjournal.org Volume 2; Issue 3; May 2017; Page No. 29-37 The Politics of Walking in Villette and Old Curiosity Shop Debolina Dey Assistant professor of English at Ramjas College, Delhi University. Delhi, India. Abstract In both Bronte’s Villette (1853) and Dickens’ The Old Curiosity shop (1840) walking becomes a rite of passage that characterises the subject in terms of his/her perception. The subject is valued through that ability to perceive as both the participant and the observer through the walk. As opposed to the vantage point in the sitting room (in a novel like Mansfield Park), the walk in the countryside presents its subject not only allows observation but also introspection. In contrast to the notion of privacy that usually allows the woman of letter to introspect and observe, in Villette it is the outdoors, the walk in the countryside that both make her an object of thought and gives her the spatial freedom to contemplate. The park/garden becomes the intermediary space, located between the open spatial politics of the street and the closed interiors of the domestic household. It allows for new kinds of alliances, and becomes a site for a new kind of social gathering. The social setting of the walk mobilises the strict distinctive spaces of the interior and the exterior, becoming an indicator of a new kind of social interactivity. The walk not only subverts notions of interior and exterior in terms of the domestic household, it also fashions a kind of homelessness that necessitates the walk.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • The History of Cribbage
    THE HISTORY OF CRIBBAGE Origins The game of cribbage has been beloved by men for centuries. It is believed to have been invented by British soldier and poet Sir John Suckling . In the 1630’s Suckling, also a famous courtier and gambler altered an earlier similar game of “noddy” by inventing the crib, which is basically an extra hand the dealer gets to play. (Noddy first appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1589.) Suckling spent several years in France and Italy and returned to England in 1630 to be knighted by the King." Suckling inherited his father's fortune when he was only 18. Rich, handsome and generous, Suckling was very popular and regarded as the best card player and bowler in Britain, if not all Europe. In 1641 he led a conspiracy to rescue a friend who was jailed in the Tower of London. When the plot was discovered, he was accused of treason and fled to France. A year later - unable to return to his beloved England, the unhappy poet took poison and died. Cribbage in 1822 © The Trustees of the British Museum. Cribbage was brought to American shores by English settlers where it became quite popular in the colonies, especially in New England. Requiring only two players, it was readily adopted by sailors and fishermen as a way to pass the time. Cribbage boards, which have either 61 or 121 holes, were crafted from a variety of materials and could be quite unique and elaborate in form and style. Eskimos would make cribbage boards out of walrus tusks to trade with the sailors and fishermen who made port near their villages.
