Oxford: The Clarendon Press/ Oxford University Press, 1977. This volume presents 1,087 letters, 284 of them previously unpublished, for the years 1844 to 1846. For half of that time Dickens and his family are living abroad: at Genoa from July 844 toJune 1845, at Lausanne from June to November 1846, and finally in Paris. The year in Italy is interrupted by a midwinter visit to London to read his topical Christmas book, The Chimes, to groups of friends beforepublication. During the months abroad Dickens's letters, fewer in number, are longer and more leisurely, vividly recording impressions of places and people and the humours and hardships of travel. Back in England, he devotes much time and energy to amateur theatricals (Every Man in his Humour and The Elder Brother) and, less happily, to helping his new publishers, Bradbury and Evans, to establish the Daily News, which for a short time he edits. Among his contributions are travel sketches later included in Pictures from Italy, and a series of… Read More

Oxford: The Clarendon Press/ Oxford University Press, 1997. This ninth volume presents about 1100 letters, many unpublished, from the years 1859 to 1861. It records Dickens's writing of two major novels, A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations, both published weekly in All the Tear Round: the letters give an unusual insight into the inspiration for both. It also shows him planning and writing a substantial amount of the three Christmas numbers of this period, 'A Haunted House', 'A Message from the Sea', and 'Tom Tiddler's Ground'. He expends great energy in establishing All the Year Round, to succeed Household Words, and during 1861 writes the first fourteen of his Uncommercial Traveller series. During these three years he gives two provincial tours of readings, in addition to readings in London. He spends a considerable part of his time at Gad's Hill, relying on his daughter Mamie and sister-in-law Georgina Hogarth to act as hostesses; the All the Year Round… Read More

The period is one of activity remarkable even for Dickens. Besides the continuous editing of Household Words (where his Hard Times appears as a weekly serial), he is still at work on Bleak Honse until August 1853 and in 1855 is writing the early numbers of Little Dorrit. He manages and acts in children's plays in his little Tavistock House theatre on Twelfth Night, and later takes the leading part in Wilkie Collins's drama The bhthouse with great effect. Work with Miss Coutts and the troublesome inmates of her "Home" increases, and readings for charity have begun.
