Charles Dickens - Old Curiosity Shop; Dombey & Son - 1889

This set brings together two major novels by Charles Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop and Dombey and Son, each representing an important phase in Dickens’s literary development and social vision. The Old Curiosity Shop is a deeply emotional novel centered on the journey of the young Nell Trent and her grandfather, exploring themes of innocence, suffering, poverty, and moral endurance within a rapidly changing society. The story is known for its vivid characters, sentimental power, and its strong influence on Victorian readers, for whom Nell became one of the most iconic literary figures of the era. Dombey and Son is a mature and complex work that examines pride, family relationships, and the dehumanizing effects of wealth and commercial ambition. Through the rise and decline of Paul Dombey, the novel offers a critical portrait of Victorian business culture while developing psychologically rich characters and a more sophisticated narrative structure, marking a significant step forward in Dickens’s artistry. As a set, these volumes are notable for presenting two distinct but complementary expressions of Dickens’s genius, one rooted in sentimental pathos and the other in social and psychological realism. Complete matched examples of Dickens’s major novels offered together are increasingly scarce on the market, as individual volumes are far more commonly encountered than cohesive sets. Their continued desirability among collectors and scholars lies in their enduring literary importance and in the fact that Dickens remains one of the most collected and studied authors of the nineteenth century, ensuring sustained interest and relative rarity when such works are preserved and offered together. This item will be carefully packed and shipped with a track-and-trace code.
