This is a commitment but a fun one. I needed to read a Dickens I had never read before for The Literary Life reading challenge and so Pickwick it was. This is definitely a book that is talking to other books, some which came before and some which were written after.
I think maybe Pickwick is a caricature of Samuel Johnson. I loved seeing Jane Austen styled manner stories, and Sam Weller is a type of Jeeves and in some chapters an exact model. We also see shades of future novels like Bleak House. All in all great fun.
