DICKENS RESOURCE HANDBOOK SERIES. Designed to make Dickens's novels more accessible to non-specialist readers, this series of handbooks focuses separately on three frequently taught novels: Great Expectations, Hard Times, and David Copperfield. Each resource package includes a several hundred-page text of social, historical, and literary commentary, a video and audio tape of the Dickens Players performing scenes from the novel, and a slide collection of relevant scenes from nineteenth-century England.

• Great Expectations Booklets: GEACT and GERES. We have taken the original workbook from the handbook kit and created two booklets.
