Household Words A Weekly Journal 1850-1859, Conducted by Charles Dickens [first edition]

OUT-OF-PRINT. 534 pages. " The fact that most of the contributions to Charles Dickens's first periodical, HOUSEHOLD WORDS, were anonymous has meant that in some highly important respectsthe character of the publication has been hidden. Among the 390 men and women included in the list of contributors, such writers as Wilkie Collins, George Agusta Sala, Elizabeth Gaskell and Adelaide Porter occupy a prominent place. There also appear names of persons rarely - or never- mentioned in connection with Dicken's periodical. The result is a fascinating depiction of some of the popular writers of the day as chosen by .Dickens." (Publisher)
