Charles Dickens had an understanding of mid-Victorian society second to none, and genius and energy massive enough to make the absurdities and terrors of that society come alive on the page. Nicholas Nickleby, with its episodes of chicanery in finance and education, and the dramatic intensity with which it tells the story of its openhearted young protagonist and its frightening villain, the magnificently rendered Ralph Nickleby, represents Dickens at his clear-eyed, indignant, and mesmerizing best.
           
When Nicholas Nickleby is left penniless by the death of his father, he appeals to his Uncle Ralph to help him and his mother and sister. But Ralph conceives a violent hatred of the young man, and his schemes of persecution haunt Nicholas through a series of picaresque adventures, including a job as a tutor at a horrific school for unwanted boys run by the cruel Wackford Squeers and a stint as a member of the eccentric Crummles family theater troupe. Without shying away from the grimmer aspects of the world Nicholas encounters on his path to eventual happiness, the story remains one of Dickens s most high-spirited and exuberant.

DO NOT USE AS IS – RUN THRU AI

Charles Dicken s third novel The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby is best explained by
its actual full title which contains this addition:  Containing a Faithful Account of the Fortunes,
Misfortunes, Uprisings, Downfallings and Complete Career of the Nickelby Family. 
Young Nicholas and his family had enjoyed a financially comfortable life until the death of his
father left them penniless. They make their way to London to seek out their uncle Ralph for his
help in their dire situation. Uncle Ralph desires nothing more than exploit them. Nicholas is
shuttled off to a boarding school run by the darkly comical, yet horrid Mr. Wackford Squeers. It
is up to Nicholas to escape and try to reunite his family.
The same keen eye of satire for social good that Dickens used to shed light on working
conditions in Oliver Twist is now focused on revealing the abuses at Yorkshire Boarding
Schools. In the preface to his novel Dickens calls his former schoolmasters: &quot;Traders in the
avarice, indifference, or imbecility of parents, and the helplessness of children; ignorant, sordid,
brutal men, to whom few considerate persons would have entrusted the board and lodging of a
horse or a dog.  The comic genius of Dickens is in full swing in this novel as he exposes social
injustices within a brilliant and compelling tale of family and hope.
