THE SCHOLARLY PAGES


"OUR MUTUAL FRIEND: The Scholarly Pages" is an electronic archival resource dedicated to gathering and providing scholarly information on Dickens 1861 Dickens's last completed novel. Designed to complement the BBC's 1998 dramatization of OUR MUTUAL FRIEND, "OMF: The Scholarly Pages" offers a virtually inexhaustible storehouse of information for those who wish to explore in depth the complicated "web" of this dense but powerful novel.

Embedded in the menu to your left, you will discover a universe of OMF-related topics, from a selected bibliography of OMF scholarly literature, to electronic scans of the original Marcus Stone illustrations and monthly part advertisements, to contemporary reviews of the novel. This site, as sprawling in scope as Dickens's novel itself, speaks to everyone from the high school student reading Dickens for the first time to the university professor in need of an up-to-date article on school houses or dustheaps in the 19th century.

The Dickens Project and the BBC welcome you to "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND: The Scholarly Pages," and hope that you will enjoy navigating through the continuously shifting currents of ever-growing Dickens scholarship.
