Written for publication as a serial, The Pickwick Papers is a sequence of loosely-related
adventures. Its main literary value and appeal is formed by its numerous
memorable characters. Each character in The Pickwick Papers, as in many
other Dickens novels, is drawn comically, often with exaggerated personalities.
The novel's main character, Mr. Samuel Pickwick, is a kind and wealthy old
gentleman, the founder of the Pickwick Club. Following his description in the
text, he is usually portrayed by illustrators as a round-faced, clean-shaven,
portly gentleman wearing spectacles. Mr. Pickwick travels with his friends, Mr.
Nathaniel Winkle, Mr. Augustus Snodgrass, and Mr. Tracy Tupman, and their
peregrinations through the English countryside provide the chief theme of the
novel.
