theatlantic: Happy 200th birthday, Charles Dickens! A dig through our archives turned up a few essays — and one of Dickens’ last short stories — that’ll help you celebrate the occasion. A September 1861 review of Great Expectations: “Altogether we take great joy in recording our conviction that Great Expectations is a masterpiece. […] In our opinion, Great Expectations is 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.” [Image: U.S. National Archives] Um sorry that was so tl;dr that I had to delete a bunch of it Happy birthday, Charles! Does anyone know when the new BBC version of Great Expectations is supposed to air in the U.S.? Everyone looks smoking hot in it (even Miss Havisham, but then again, she was played by Gillian Anderson).
