Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from About Edwin Drood These pages do not pretend to fill by conjecture the gaps in Charles Dickens´ unfinished story. It is certain that he had bestowed especial pains upon the structure of his plot, and that he was anxious to keep his secret till the right moment came for its disclosure. This being so, I do not believe that any ingenuity of conjecture can supply what Dickens did not live to write. But the fragment which we possess has always seemed to me a masterpiece: and. thus thinking, I attempt, not to add to what Dickens has left to us, but to make clear and definite so much of the story as is covered by the twenty-three extant chapters, and to elucidate certain details which seem to me to have been misunderstood or overlooked. I am moved to do this by the publication of Mr J. Cuming Walters´ Clues to Dickens´s "Mystery of Edwin Drood" and Mr Andrew Lang´s Puzzle of Dickens´s Last Plot, works which, inasmuch as they deal comprehensively and minutely with the extant fragment, invite criticism and assist reconstruction.
