LITERARY/HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Great Expectations was published serially in Dickens weekly
periodical, All the Year Round, from December 1860 until June
1861. This serialization was done in order to restore the dwindling
readership of the magazine and was a wonderful success. There
have been countless adaptations of the novel for the stage and
screen and it is often credited as Dickens greatest work.
