Bleak House (The Oxford Illustrated Dickens)

This beautifully illustrated edition, part of the Oxford Illustrated Dickens collection, is in fine condition. The dust jacket is unmarked, and the volume is bound in brown boards with bright gilt lettering along the spine. Hablot Knight Browne, best known by his pen name Phiz, was among the most influential illustrators of 19th-century English literature. He is especially celebrated for his long and prolific collaboration with Charles Dickens, illustrating many of Dickens’s major novels, including Bleak House. Browne’s remarkable ability to convey motion, emotion, and satire made his illustrations an essential component of the Dickensian world, so closely intertwined with the text that they became inseparable from the stories themselves. Together, text and illustration create an unforgettable reading experience.
