What is the full original title of The Pickwick Papers? The answer is The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. This is the original title commonly used for Charles Dickens's first novel.
The first edition's complete title included an extended descriptive subtitle: “Containing a Faithful Record of the Perambulations, Perils, Travels, Adventures and Sporting Transactions of the Corresponding Members.” The shorter title is the standard bibliographic form.
The novel was serialized from 1836 to 1837 and later became widely known as The Pickwick Papers. The alternatives describe the book informally or refer to adaptations and variant naming, rather than giving its original title.
