- Brief description
- Charles Dickens's reading copy of 'Nicholas Nickleby at the Yorkshire School'
- Label
- The condensed sections of Dickens's stories which he read to the public were given their own names. This section of Nicholas Nickleby is called Nicholas Nickleby at the Yorkshire School. Dickens frequently performed this story, which was one of his favourites, and made several alterations and deletions to make it suitable for public reading. In this copy he has added stage directions like "slapping the desk" and has bound chapter three shut with a red ribbon, skipping it entirely.
