Industry reviews
"The character of Nancy is the finest thing he ever did. He never afterwards saw all sides of a woman's character--saw all around her."
quoted in Introduction by Angus Wilson - Wilkie Collins (01/01/1890)

"...in some curious way Fagin's court for all its squalor and meanness has a sort of ghastly gaiety and life that makes Mr. Brownlow's hot punch by the fire and Rose Maylie's country flower picking expeditions seem like the feeble stirrings of the moribund. With this ambiguity we are brought face to face with the puzzle of the force and power that still exert their influence upon most readers of this strange, great, yet often cheaply sentimental novel....Perhaps the final judgement on 'Oliver Twist' must be that it is the crude apprentice work of a very great genius, and, as such, a unique curiosity of literature."
Introduction - Angus Wilson (01/01/1966)

"I don't like that low, debasing style...I shouldn't think it would tend to raise morals."
quoted in Introduction by Angus Wilson - William Lamb
