Description

Our Mutual Friend, written by Charles Dickens, is a novel that explores the complexities of identity and social class in 19th-century London. When John Harmon returns to claim his inheritance, he discovers that he can only do so if he marries Bella Wilfur.

The story follows John's journey as he assumes a new identity and becomes embroiled in the lives of those around him, including Mr Boffin, who is also Bella's guardian. Against the backdrop of London's rapidly changing landscape, Dickens examines the tensions between wealth and poverty, as well as the consequences of social mobility.

This edition of Our Mutual Friend includes extensive explanatory notes and significant manuscript variants, providing a detailed understanding of the novel's historical context and literary significance.
