Life is Made of Ever So Many Partings Welded Together (Great Expectations, Part 2)
The Norton Library Podcast
In Part 2 of our discussion on Charles Dickens's Great Expectations, editor Daniel Wright returns to discuss the appropriately rich color scheme of the Norton Library edition, his favorite awkward and heartbreaking line from the novel, and the reasons that Great Expectations is not a love story.
Daniel Wright is an associate professor of English at the University of Toronto. He is the author of The Grounds of the Novel (Stanford, 2024) and Bad Logic (Johns Hopkins, 2018).
