Until now, there has never been a work on Charles Dickens which has reflected absolutely everything he published, including his journalism and collaborative efforts. And never before has his oeuvre been arranged in the strictest practicable chronological order. Five hundred twenty-eight titles are dealt with in Everyone in Dickens, a three-volume reference set including: 5,200 individual character entries in Volumes I and II; 13,000 different figures reflected in Volume III; 293 illustrations associated with the earliest issuances of the works; and a series of 12 one-of-a-kind indexes covering characters by name, characters by family relationship, all historical persons mentioned, and much more. The set was created for people―students, scholars, and just readers―who would like to be able to find beloved Dickens characters quickly, discover new ones, and have a trove of accessible data on the man and his creations from which to embark on their own explorations and develop their own conclusions. Everyone in Dickens organizes the characters and nonfictional figures created or mentioned by Charles Dickens by work and within each work by importance. There are Principal Characters, Supporting Roles, Other Characters, Walk-ons, and Spear-carriers. Only Dickens' words are used, so the reader can enjoy each character in the round. Also provided are a plot or subject summary of each work, an abbreviation key, and publication information. Volume I covers all of Dickens' works from 1833-49, Volume II covers 1850-70, and Volume III includes indexes, tabulations, and original essays. Everyone in Dickens has had the benefit of input from some of the world's most eminent Dickensian scholars, and every effort has been made to make it the state of the art within its parameters. The collection has been endorsed by the Dickens Project at the University of California and has been praised by many experts. America's distinguished Dickens biographer, Fred Kaplan, has written the foreword, and the Curator of the Dickens House in London, David Parker, has written the preface.

A Tale of Two Cities, does not waste a word in telling a humanly touching, suspenseful tale against the background of one of the most bloody events in history, the French Revolution. This collection of historical documents, collateral readings, and commentary will promote interdisciplinary study of the novel and enrich the student's understanding of the French Revolution and the significant issues it raised. Newlin, the author of Everyone in Dickens and Every Thing in Dickens, has assembled a rich variety of materials. These include excerpts from Thomas Carlyle's work, The French Revolution (along with a discussion of Dickens's debt to that work), primary documents on mob behavior, the Fall of the Bastille, Thomas Paine and The Rights of Man, due process of law, capital punishment and the development of the guillotine, prison isolation, human dissection and grave robbing, voices from prison during the Terror, and colorful extracts from the writings of travelers, victims, and executioners. A detailed chronology of the French Revolution, interwoven with fictional events from A Tale of Two Cities, and sketches of major political, military, and financial figures of the Revolution, will help the student to place the novel in historical context. France's Declaration of the Rights of Man is compared in detail with the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Each section of the casebook contains study questions, topics for research papers and class discussion, and lists of further reading for examining the events and issues of the novel. A glossary of terms unfamiliar to contemporary readers will help elucidate the text of A Tale of Two Cities. This is an ideal companion for teacher use and student research in interdisciplinary, English, and world history courses.

For the first time all the characters in the complete works of Anthony Trollope, the most prolific writer of the Victorian age, are analyzed in one definitive reference. George Newlin does for Trollope what he did for Dickens in his award-winning Everyone in Dickens. This comprehensive four-volume set makes Trollope's complete oeuvre accessible to the general reader as well as the scholar. It deals with all the fiction - forty-seven novels and forty-six short stories - and more than two hundred nonfiction pieces, and assembles all works confirmed as by Trollope with their titles and dates of publications. More than 4,500 characters are analyzed and thousands more minor characters presented in this monumental resource. Volumes I and II cover the novels - using Trollope's own words, Newlin presents all the characters in the novels and also provides useful plot and content summaries and bibliographic data. Volume III covers the shorter fiction - short stories, sketches, and plays - and also features a cross-reference to all the fiction that provides meticulous detail on localities, historical figures, occupations, and relationships. In addition, there is a compilation of all Latin quotations with translations and sources. The complete nonfiction works are covered in Volume IV, along with a thematic concordance on nearly every aspect of life that Trollope wrote about. This exhaustive reference includes numerous illustrations, particularly those of John Everett Millais, which were printed in the Trollope first editions. Bibliographic information lists and dates all elements in the Trollope oeuvre and many works by Trollope scholars. As a starting point for research on every imaginable aspect of Trollope's work, this set is truly indispensable.
