Wisbech, UK, 24, March, 2023 Museum curator, Robert Bell with the manuscript. The original manuscript for Charles Dickens Great Expectations, usually kept in the vault of the Wisbech and Fenland Museum will be on show for two weeks from this Wednesday - 29th March. The manuscript completed in 1861 was bequeathed to the museum by Chauncy Hare Townshend in 1868. Dickens other works are held in the V and A. The manuscript has four lines boxed in and scratched out by Dickens showing that he changed his original ending after advice from his friend Edward Bulwer-Lytton to soften it by making it more ambiguous. Curator Robert Bell said: “The manuscript is a priceless document and quite fragile so we try to avoid handling it too much and when it is put on display it is carefully protected. “Recently we have displayed it in its glass-fronted case for viewings once a month on Saturdays only. “But because interest in Great Expectations and its larger than life characters is being rekindled by the BBC's Sunday night serial, with Olivia Coleman playing Miss Havisham, it will be on show when the Museum is open, from 10am to 4pm Wednesday to Saturday between March 29 and April 8. “Dickens bound and gave the 1861 manuscript to his friend the Rev Chauncy Hare Townshend, who bequeathed it along with many other treasures to our Museum in 1868. “The public can come and see the real thing in its sealed case and marvel at Dickens' many changes and crossings out in the facsimile copy next to it. Also on display will be other Dickens-related manuscripts and books.” Photography by Jason Bye t: +44 7966 173 930 e: mail@jasonbye.com w: http://www.jasonbye.com
