What if Charles Dickens had
indeed brought The
Mystery of Edwin Drood to its destined close?
This tantalising question has stirred readers
and critics alike for more than a century.
In this singular volume, Radu-Ioan Comșuța ventures an answer both original and audacious. He proposes a truly ‘eucatastrophic’ conclusion – an unforeseen reversal, yet one rich in hope and poetic justice. With literary learning, parodic wit, and imaginative daring, the author calls Dickens’s characters once more to the stage, sets them in dialogue with figures from across the novelist’s oeuvre, and gently guides them towards a most unexpected resolution.
This work is far more than a mere attempt at “another ending” to the unfinished tale: it is a testament to the enduring vitality of literature, that ceaseless conversation between past and present. The Mystery of Edwin Drood: A Farce with a Eucatastrophic Ending will delight the connoisseur of Dickens and all who hold that great stories deserve, from time to time, to be given one more chance.
