Friends, we’re at our final wrap-up for our third read already, Oliver Twist! What an adventure it has been, to experience together Dickens’ second novel–and what a divergence in tone from The Pickwick Papers.
We’ve discussed so many aspects of the novel that it will be impossible to cover them all here, but I’ll focus on summarizing three areas in our final wrap-up:
- This past week’s discussion.
- Distillation and summary on the discussion of antisemitism in the novel.
- A brief thematic wrap-up, based on the discussions over the past 5 weeks.

For the title character, see Oliver Twist (character). For other uses, see Oliver Twist (disambiguation). Oliver Twist; or, The Parish Boy's Progress, is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens. It was originally published as a serial from 1837 to 1839 and as a three-volume book in 1838.[1] The story follows the titular orphan, who, after being raised in a workhouse, escapes to London, where he meets a gang of juvenile pickpockets led by the elderly criminal Fagin, discovers the secrets of his parentage, and reconnects with his remaining family. Oliver Twist unromantically portrays the sordid lives of criminals and exposes the cruel treatment of the many orphans in London in the mid-19th century.[2] The alternative title, The Parish Boy's Progress, alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress as well as the 18th-century caricature series by painter William Hogarth, A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.[3] In an early example of the social novel, Dickens satirises child labour, domestic violence, the recruitment of children as criminals, and the presence of street children. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blin
