I’m very fond of Wackford Squeers, but only because he is a great character from a great novel. I reread Nicholas Nickleby last summer with friends. If you get a chance, perhaps you can track down the RSC production of NN from around 1981. It’s about eight hours long and does not skip much. The original illustrations are very good. I can’t remember if they are by PHIZ (Hablot K. Brown) or Cruikshank, or someone else.
I enjoy your emails. I hope you get to read a lot of Dickens.
