Introduction and Notes by Dr T.C.B. Cook Following the success of Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby was hailed as a comic triumph and firmly established Dickens as a ’literary gentleman’.

Combining these with typically Dickensian elements of burlesque and farce, the novel is eminently suited to dramatic adaptation
