 Penguin Reading Guides | Great Expectations | Charles Dickens
Work on Great Expectations commenced in late September of 1860 at what proved to be a peak of emotional intensity for its author.
The writing of Great Expectations, and by extension the creation of its protagonist, Pip, therefore, can be viewed as a kind of excavation for its author, a cathartic attempt to come to terms with the painful facts of his childhood—particularly the family's chronic economic instability, culminating in his father's imprisonment due to financial insolvency.
Narrated by a middle-aged Pip, Great Expectations can be read on many levels—as a morality play of a young boy's coming of age; and his sudden and unexpected rise from the lower to that of the leisure class (due to the anonymous efforts of a mysterious benefactor).
