MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT

'Martin Chuzzlewit is something other and better in tone and quality, and goes deeper than anything Dickens had written before', writes Geoffrey Russell in his Introduction to this study of selfishness. Memorable characters include the abominable hypocrite Pecksniff, 'set forth in satire perhaps unmatched in Dickens's work'; the hired nurse Mrs Gamp, 'one of the greatest clowns in literature'; and the cheerful, resilient Tapley. The novel is also noted for its caricature of American life.
