Retro Dickens.

Dickens’ novel Great Expectations was published serially starting in December 1860 — a new episode appearing each week, just like The West Wing. Now, in December 2002, you can read Dickens’ Great Expectations as Victorians did — except you’ll be viewing .PDF facsimiles that look like the original newsprint broadsides. A new edition comes out every Wednesday. It’s retro tech! Read it or subscribe on Stanford’s Dickens site.

    Did you read the installments? I did. Nothing retro about Dickens at all!
    p.s. found you via a google link search to see who links to rlg.org. You do!
