Troughton used to be a cat person, he says, but has gradually been converted to dogs. As the two labradors come in from their walk, impressively obedient, he takes them out on to the tiny veranda for their usual snack - a banana each and maybe a handful of grapes. 'Fussy? They'll eat anything,' he tells you. Bill and Ben's exercise routine takes in about 10 miles a day. It's 10 years since Troughton moved to this flat overlooking parkland near Hampton Court in London. For 12 years he's been painting the 'masterpieces' which cover the walls, Four 'Turners', a handful of 'Impressionists', two of the better-known 'Constables'... Patrick Troughton is a copier - if his motives were mercenary and he used canvas instead of hardboard, forger would be the nasty name for it - of great skill. Incredible skill, when you consider he has never had a painting lesson in his life and he only started, he claims, because someone gave him a box of oil paints as a birthday present. Oddly enough, he poses with an easel in The Two of Us (Friday, ITV). "The Two of Us,' he says, 'is the first time since 1938, when I began acting, that I have ever played myself.' The series is about a young couple thinking of marriage, and Troughton is the grandfather to whom the boy, Nicholas Lyndhurst, comes for advice. Troughton plays a slightly cranky old man, one who goes in for fads and bursts of enthusiasm.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Teaching Dickens a Masterpiece Guide Contents
    Teaching Dickens A Masterpiece Guide Contents 2 Introduction 3 General Questions & Activities 7 Oliver Twist 10 David Copperfield 14 Little Dorrit 17 The Old Curiosity Shop 21 Stay Tuned: The Rise of the Killer Serial 26 Resources 29 Credits page 1 Introduction CHARLES DICKENS was the best-known novelist of his time, and is considered by many to be the greatest writer of the Victorian era. A social reformer, Dickens wrote sprawling serial novels that chronicled and condemned the injustices of Victorian society. Yet he was also a deft entertainer and satirist, creating vivid characters, such as Scrooge, Miss Havisham, and Uriah Heep, who are still a part of our culture today. As David Lodge, who adapted the 1995 MASTERPIECE THEATRE production of Martin Chuzzlewit, says in Norrie Epstein’s The Friendly Dickens (Penguin, 2001), “Dickens’ observation of folly, affectation, hypocrisy, self-deception, deception of others, and the way in which people manipulate language to these ends just tickles one. Dickens does what comedy has always done: it both exposes imperfections in the world and reconciles us to it by making something entertaining out of it.” Does Dickens still have something to say to us today? Use the activities and questions in this guide as you watch and read The Tales of Charles Dickens— the all-new 2009 MASTERPIECE adaptations of Oliver Twist, Little Dorrit, and The Old Curiosity Shop, as well as an encore presentation of David Copperfield, which originally aired in 2000. Whether through characters who have counterparts in current pop culture, plot twists that eerily echo stories in our own newspapers, or the universal questions Dickens raises about the mysteries of the human heart, this guide is designed to help readers see Dickens’ relevance to our world today.

  • “Reviewing the Situation”: Oliver! and the Musical Afterlife of Dickens's
    “Reviewing the Situation”: Oliver! and the Musical Afterlife of Dickens’s Novels Marc Napolitano A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by Advisor: Allan Life Reader: Laurie Langbauer Reader: Tom Reinert Reader: Beverly Taylor Reader: Tim Carter © 2009 Marc Napolitano ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Marc Napolitano: “Reviewing the Situation”: Oliver! and the Musical Afterlife of Dickens’s Novels (Under the direction of Allan Life) This project presents an analysis of various musical adaptations of the works of Charles Dickens. Transforming novels into musicals usually entails significant complications due to the divergent narrative techniques employed by novelists and composers or librettists. In spite of these difficulties, Dickens’s novels have continually been utilized as sources for stage and film musicals. This dissertation initially explores the elements of the author’s novels which render his works more suitable sources for musicalization than the texts of virtually any other canonical novelist. Subsequently, the project examines some of the larger and more complex issues associated with the adaptation of Dickens’s works into musicals, specifically, the question of preserving the overt Englishness of one of the most conspicuously British authors in literary history while simultaneously incorporating him into a genre that is closely connected with the techniques, talents, and tendencies of the American stage. A comprehensive overview of Lionel Bart’s Oliver! (1960), the most influential Dickensian musical of all time, serves to introduce the predominant theoretical concerns regarding the modification of Dickens’s texts for the musical stage and screen.

  • The Old Curiosity Shop (Charles Dickens) Marc Franken ©Havovwo.Nl (Nov 2009)
    Boekverslag The Old Curiosity Shop (Charles Dickens) Marc Franken ©havovwo.nl (nov 2009) The Old Curiosity Shop By: Charles Dickens Publisher: International Collectors Library Year: Unknown, printed in the United States of America First print: the story was printed as a complete book for the first time in 1841. Title. Nell and her grandfather live in an old curiosity shop from which the story enrolls. The Author. Charles John Huffam Dickens, born February 7 1812, died June 9 1870, was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era. He was a vigorous social campaigner, both in his own personal endeavours as well as through the recurrent themes of his literary enterprise. Critics George Gissing and G. K. Chesterton championed Dickens's mastery of prose, his endless invention of unique, clever personalities, and his powerful social sensibilities, but fellow writers such as George Henry Lewes, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf faulted his work for sentimentality, implausible occurrences, and grotesque characterizations. The popularity of Dickens's novels and short stories has meant that they have never gone out of print. Many of Dickens's novels first appeared in periodicals and magazines in serialised form, a popular format for fiction at the time. Unlike many other authors who completed entire novels before serial production commenced, Dickens often composed his works in parts, in the order in which they were meant to appear. Such a practice lent his stories a particular rhythm, punctuated by one minor "cliffhanger" after another, to keep the public looking forward to the next installment Literature The book is from the Victorian age.
