Editing Great Expectations (section)

===Editions===
Robert L Patten identifies four American editions in 1861 and sees the proliferation of publications in Europe and across the Atlantic as "extraordinary testimony" to ''Great Expectations''{{'}}s popularity.<ref>{{harvnb|Robert L. Patten|1978|pp=288–293}}</ref> Chapman and Hall published the first edition in three volumes in 1861,<ref name=Dickens1861VolI /><ref name=Dickens1861VolII /><ref name=Dickens1861VolIII /> five subsequent reprints between 6 July and 30 October, and a one-volume edition in 1862. The "bargain" edition was published in 1862, the Library Edition in 1864, and the Charles Dickens edition in 1868. To this list, Paul Schlicke adds "two meticulous scholarly editions", one Clarendon Press published in 1993 with an introduction by Margaret Cardwell<ref>{{harvnb|Charles Dickens|1993}}</ref> and another with an introduction by Edgar Rosenberg, published by Norton in 1999.<ref name="s261" /> The novel was published with one ending (visible in the four online editions listed in the External links at the end of this article). In some 20th century editions, the novel ends as originally published in 1867, and in an afterword, the ending Dickens did not publish, along with a brief story of how a friend persuaded him to a happier ending for Pip, is presented to the reader (for example, 1987 audio edition by Recorded Books<ref>{{cite book |author1=Dickens, Charles |author2=Muller, Frank |author2-link=Frank Muller |year=1987 |author1-link=Charles Dickens |title=Great Expectations |publisher=Recorded Books |location=New York |isbn=1-4025-4950-4}}</ref>).

In 1862, Marcus Stone,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.artmagick.com/pictures/artist.aspx?artist=marcus-stone|title=Image Gallery for Marcus Stone|publisher=ArtMagick|access-date=28 January 2013|archive-date=18 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130218073057/http://www.artmagick.com/pictures/artist.aspx?artist=marcus-stone|url-status=dead}}</ref> son of Dickens's old friend, the painter Frank Stone, was invited to create eight woodcuts for the Library Edition. According to Paul Schlicke, these illustrations are mediocre yet were included in the Charles Dickens edition, and Stone created illustrations for Dickens's subsequent novel, ''Our Mutual Friend''.<ref name="s261" /> Later, Henry Mathew Brock also illustrated ''Great Expectations'' and a 1935 edition of ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bookstallsf.com/dickens.html|title=Various editions of ''A Christmas Carol''|publisher=The Bookstall|access-date=28 January 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120702064454/http://www.bookstallsf.com/dickens.html|archive-date=2 July 2012}}</ref> along with other artists, such as John McLenan,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.victorianweb.org/art/illustration/mclenan/ge.html|title=Illustrations by John McLenan for ''Great Expectations''|access-date=4 September 2012|archive-date=11 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120111041408/http://www.victorianweb.org/art/illustration/mclenan/ge.html|url-status=live}}</ref> F.
