Our Mutual Friend

by Dickens, Charles

Our Mutual Friend (written in the years 1864–65) is the last novel completed by Charles Dickens and is in many ways one of his most sophisticated works, combining deep psychological insight with rich social analysis. At one level it centres on, in the words of critic J. Hillis Miller, "money, money, money, and what money can make of life" but in a deeper sense it's also about 'human values'.

First Edition Identification

The book was first serialized from 1864-1865 in 19 monthly installments. It was then published as a novel in 1865 by Chapman & Hall, London, with 40 illustration plates  by Marcus Stone.
