Charles Dickens and the Mid-Victorian Press, 1850-1870 by Hazel Mackenzie and Ben Winyard is an in-depth exploration of the influential periodical literature of the 19th century. Through essays from Dickens' journals online, this collection examines how his work in 'Household Words' and 'All the Year Round' shaped public conversation on key issues such as poverty, education, and social reform. Dickens' position as principal contributor to these magazines gave him a unique platform to engage with his readership. This book delves into both the fiction and journalism of these periodicals, shedding light on their impact on society and the wider publishing world. With contributions from leading scholars, this collection offers a comprehensive understanding of Dickens' role in shaping public discourse during this pivotal era. By examining the intersection of literature and journalism, this book provides valuable insights into the life and work of Charles Dickens, as well as the broader cultural context of mid-Victorian England.
