However, Dickens indicated that he knew nothing about hunting and other sports activities, and so he redefined the work. Dickens was commissioned to write the book by his publisher, who originally wanted Dickens to merely provide the text to complement illustrations by Robert Seymour, who had proposed to draw a series of illustrations surrounding the comic adventures of the members of a sporting club.
The novel was published as a serial, issued in instalments, as was common with many other works at the time. It is considered a masterpiece of British literature.
The Pickwick Papers (The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, shortened to The Pickwick Papers, 1836) was the first novel by English writer Charles Dickens.
