Publisher's Note
"Great Expectations" is at once a superbly constructed novel of spellbinding mastery and a profound examination of moral values. Here, some of Dickens's most memorable characters come to play their part in a story whose title itself reflects the deep irony that shaped Dickens's searching reappraisal of the Victorian middle class.
In the marshy mists of a village churchyard, a tiny orphan boy named Pip is suddenly terrified by a shivering, limping convict on the run. Years later, a supremely arrogant young Pip boards the coach to London where, by the grace of a mysterious benefactor, he will join the ranks of the idle rich and "become a gentleman." Finally, in the luminous mists of the village at evening, Pip the man meets Estella, his dazzingly beautiful tormentor, in a ruined garden--and lays to rest all the heartaches and illusions that his "great expectations" have brought upon him. Dickenss biographer, Edgar H. Johnson, has said that--except for the authors last-minute tampering with his original ending--Great Expectations is "the most perfectly constructed and perfectly written of all Dickenss works." In John Irvings Introduction to this edition, the novelist takes the view that Dickens's revised ending is "far more that mirror of the quality of trust in the novel as a whole." Both versions of the ending are printed here.

Industry reviews
"When I was young I understood Pip and sympathized with him and felt what he felt in his various horrors and discovery of his paternity. As I got older I...was horrified by his shallowness. It's like watching 'The Graduate' when you were young - and then older and you understand why Mrs. Robinson doesn't want to talk with him in bed."
Mother Jones - Richard Russo 

"In no other of his romances has the author succeeded so perfectly in at once stimulating and baffling the curiosity of his readers....Altogether we take great joy in recording our conviction that GREAT EXPECTATIONS is a masterpiece...., a work which proves that we may expect from Dickens a series of romances far exceeding in power and artistic skill the productions which have already given him such a preeminence among the novelists of the age."
Atlantic Monthly  (09/01/1861)
