Our Mutual Friend

Summary

Our Mutual Friend (Nederlands: Onze wederzijdsche vriend) is een victoriaanse roman van Charles Dickens. Het verhaal geeft een scherp kritische kijk op de victoriaanse sociale verhoudingen en de positie van de werkersklasse. Inhoudelijk bestond het uit vier delen die eerst als feuilleton en later in boekvorm uitkwamen. Het werk werd geïllustreerd door Marcus Stone (1840-1921). Our Mutual Friend is de laatste roman die Charles Dickens kon afwerken voor zijn dood. De volgende roman, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, was onafgewerkt bij Dickens' overlijden op 9 juni 1870. Dit boek gebruikt de raciale en andere scheldwoorden uit zijn tijd zoals ze geschreven zijn; de Boekgids legt deze woorden uit waar ze voorkomen.
