This classic novel presents the coming of age of Pip (Philip Pirrip), one of Dickens's most memorable characters, as he struggles to define himself and his place in the world. This new edition in the Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations series offers a selection of contemporary criticism of Dickens's powerful exploration of identity and self-actualization. An introductory essay by literary scholar Harold Bloom, a bibliography, a chronology of the author's life, and an index round out this new volume.
