Le Magasin d'antiquités, en anglais The Old Curiosity Shop, est, avec Barnaby Rudge, l'un des deux romans que Charles Dickens (1812-1870) a publiés, en compagnie de quelques nouvelles, dans son anecdotique et éphémère revue L'Horloge de Maître Humphrey, parue de 1840 à 1841, puis en un volume en 1841. Master Humphrey est censé être le narrateur des premiers chapitres, puis l'histoire est confiée à une autre voix, sans solution de continuité entre l'une et l'autre. Il concerne la jeune Nell Trent (la petite Nell) qui vit avec son grand-père maternel, dont le nom n'est jamais révélé, dans une vieille maison de Londres appelée The Old Curiosity Shop, car elle comprend en rez-de-chaussée un magasin d'antiquités bourré, selon Gilbert Keith Chesterton, d' objets grotesques et sinistres, d'armes bizarres, de décorations en volutes diaboliques . Centrée sur les deux protagonistes, le grand-père et la petite-fille, l'intrigue est d'abord marquée par le mystère. Pourquoi cette situation ? Pourquoi l'absence du vieil homme pendant la nuit ? Bientôt, cependant, le voile se déchire avec l'intervention de plus en plus appuyée du nain Daniel Quilp, aussi difforme d'aspect que roué et cruel de tempérament. Divers comparses prennent également substance, soit du côté du couple des protagonistes, soit de celui de ses persécuteurs. Jusqu'au jour où, par une décision dont l'enfant a l'idée, l'intrigue s'ouvre brusquement sur le monde et bascule dans le champ du picaresque, avec l'errance, l'aventure de la route, les rencontres inopinées. Dès lors, le pathos, déjà appuyé dans la première partie, s'amplifie jusqu'à devenir extrême, Dickens ayant, sans rémission possible, fondé son histoire sur le sort pitoyable d'une orpheline et d'un vieillard, qui plus est en situation de faiblesse et en butte à l'adversité, les deux suscitées par la convoitise et la concupiscence des plus vils. La mort de la petite Nell, bientôt suivie de celle de son grand-père, reste l'un des événements les plus célèbres de la fiction anglaise; à l'époque de la parution des feuilletons, elle a suscité une vague de réactions jusqu'alors inédite: des milliers de lecteurs, des hommes semble-t-il, ont imploré Dickens de garder l'enfant en vie, puis des milliers d'autres ont exprimé leur deuil de sa disparition qui a pris l'envergure d'une catastrophe nationale.

Dickens wrote a large number of short stories throughout his career, mostly for magazine publication and often undeservedly neglected. This volume collects several short pieces originally written for periodicals; and included here in Volume Two are: Sketches of Young Couples and Young Gentlemen, Some Short Christmas Stories and Someone's Luggage.Charles Dickens (1812-1870) is one of the most widely read English writers. Sketches by Boz and Pickwick Papers were published in 1836, the year he married Catherine Hogarth with whom he had 10 children and whom he divorced later in life. Dickens wrote relentlessly with his first novels appearing in monthly instalments, a popular fashion at the time: Oliver Twist (1837-1839), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839), The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-1841) and Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty as part of the Master Humphrey's Clock series (1840-1841).

When we consider Dickens's life and work, in comparison with that of the two great poets we have been studying, the contrast is startling. While Tennyson and Browning were being educated for the life of literature, and shielded most tenderly from the hardships of the world, Dickens, a poor, obscure, and suffering child, was helping to support a shiftless family by pasting labels on blacking bottles, sleeping under a counter like a homeless cat, and once a week timidly approaching the big prison where his father was confined for debt. In 1836 his Pickwick was published, and life was changed as if a magician had waved his wand over him. While the two great poets were slowly struggling for recognition, Dickens, with plenty of money and too much fame, was the acknowledged literary hero of England, the idol of immense audiences which gathered to applaud him wherever he appeared. And there is also this striking contrast between the novelist and the poets, --that while the whole tendency of the age was toward realism, away from the extremes of the romanticists and from the oddities and absurdities of the early novel writers, it was precisely by emphasizing oddities and absurdities, by making caricatures rather than characters, that Dickens first achieved his popularity

David Copperfield vient au monde dans le Sud-Est de l'Angleterre, au début du règne de la reine Victoria. Sa naissance semble marquer son destin d'un sceau funeste car c'est un enfant posthume: son père est mort six mois avant sa naissance. Toute sa vie, inconsciemment, il cherchera une figure paternelle qui lui a cruellement manqué. Cependant, ses premières années sont heureuses. Il vit dans la petite ville de Blunderstone, élevé par sa mère qui l'aime tendrement et soigné par la servante de la famille, la bonne et robuste Peggotty. Seule petite ombre au tableau: lors de sa naissance, la maison familiale a reçu la visite d'une grand-tante, la tante Betsey, qui semble avoir pris comme une offense personnelle le fait que sa nièce ait mis au monde un garçon et non une fille. Elle est partie en jurant qu'on ne la reverrait jamais. Un beau jour, Peggotty emmène David dans la ville de Yarmouth, petit port à l'est du pays. Là vit sa famille. Leur maison est étrange: c'est une coque de navire renversée sur la plage. L'enfant fait la connaissance de la gentille famille de la servante: Mr Peggotty, pêcheur, son jeune neveu Ham Peggotty et surtout sa jolie nièce, Emily, dont David s'amourache. L'enfant passe des vacances délicieuses, et rentre à Blunderstone pour trouver son monde bouleversé. En effet, sa mère s'est remariée. Son époux est le sombre Mr Murdstone, dont les principes d'éducation n'incluent ni la tendresse ni la gentillesse. L'atmosphère de la maison devient vite irrespirable pour un enfant. Mr Murdstone va jusqu'à lever la main sur David et le fouette. Indigné, l'enfant se révolte et mord la main de la brute. En représailles, il est envoyé en.

Most of us see some romances in life. In my capacity as Chief Manager of a Life Assurance Office, I think I have within the last thirty years seen more romances than the generality of men, however unpromising the opportunity may, at first sight, seem.
