Helpful Website

Were you wondering about the reference to the crusaders with crossed legs? Do you know what Pip is referring to when he is commenting on the convict's potential for having "ague"? Do you know what a "jack-towel" is?

Check out Discovering Dickens. The site has some great explanations for the allusions and "historical things" mentioned in the novel. I hope you find it useful!
