Excellent. Can hardly believe it's had so little attention in 8 yrs.

Great - very helpful on the two types of Victorian classic plot structure that Dickens ruins - On the other hand - he creates a new plot surely? - a circular spiritual plot - back to understanding and valuing love and reclaiming the unconditional love of his family? Back to Joe and the new baby Pip - can you do one on context ?

At school at 17 years old, I had to study it, and it didn't do much for me. About 40 years later I read it, and now love it so much that I've read it more times than when I was being examined on it.
