Great Expectations: GCSE English Illustrated Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins

Description Ask no questions, and you’ll be told no lies.   Dickens wrote fourteen complete books, but few have featured more extreme evocations of the ills of man, of the pent-up fury of true passion; nor have they starred more memorable characters. Pip, Havisham, Estella, Magwitch; these names transport the reader to a world now long past; one of prison ships, chains, fights to the death, expectations. There is no happy ending, none of these memorable characters escapes the ravages of bleak and sorry conclusion, and love is a long time in coming. The brush is broad with which these epic themes are played out, but it is Dickens’ attention to detail, his close study of the minutiae, that elevates Great Expectations from classic novel to art.   Following Great Expectations’ inclusion upon the new specification for GCSE English Literature (first examinations 2017), CBy Publishing hereby publishes the full, unabridged 1861 text, complete with F. A. Fraser’s illustrations to the 1867 edition, large, annotation friendly margins and a plethora of background material to aid student analysis. What has this student edition got over other editions?
