Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

Great Expectations began as a serialized novel in All the Year Round, but eventually found its way into novel form.  It is about a young boy, Pip, and his life in both upper- and lower-society.  Pip faces many trials and tribulations during his journey through life, and Great Expectations chronicles these events.  In many ways, Great Expectations is considered one of Dickens’ more autobiographical novels, as his life shares many similarities with Pip’s.  16 concordances for Great Expectations follow.
