Nor does the author offer any apology for adding yet another volume to the long list of books, already existing, which deal in some way or other with England's classic book of humour, because it isn't so much his fault as might appear on the surface. A year or two ago he contributed to an American paper a series of twenty articles on some of the prominent inns mentioned in the works of Dickens, and before the series was completed he received many overtures to publish them in volume form.

  • One Hundred Years of Mr. Pickwick
    ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF MR. PICKWICK J. G. BERRY ARCH 30th was a notable day for a1110vers of Charles Dickens. M Many a one who has laughed and cried over his novels was carried back in thought a hundred years to that spring day when a modest, light green covered magazine number was on sale in a few London bookshops. It was the first monthly part of the Post­ humous Papers oj the Pickwick Club, edited by Boz. This grandilo­ quent title, so characteristic of the day, has become abbreviated to The Pickwick Papers and, with the affectionate familiarity of the years, to Pickwick. It has been pleasant to know that the Centenary was so enthusiastically celebrated in ways which Dickens himself would have enjoyed. Mr. Pickwick and his friends have driven from London by coach and horses along the green-bordered roads of Kent to historic Rochester; Messrs. Chapman and Hall, whom we cannot think of apart from Dickens, have published a Pickwick Portrait Gallery, in which distinguished Dickensians have written with rare insight on the immortal characters; and in London's great newspapers memorable tributes have been paid to what is perhaps the most popular book that Boz ever wrote. Those Centenary celebrations have expressed the enduring apprecia­ tion and keen enjoyment of Dickens in the English!..speaking world and beyond. The story of the origin of Pickwick is interesting in itself, for all beginnings are of interest, and it has, on account of the con­ troversy in which it was involved, been told more than once. With his Sketches by Boz, illustrated by George Cruikshank, Dickens early in 1836 had attained no small measure of fame.

White Rabbit: English Studies in Latin America Issue 3 (August 2012) ISSN: 0719-0921 Dickens in Motion: Still Moving after Two Hundred Years Adam Abraham1 The following is a meditation on the career of English novelist Charles Dickens (1812–1870), on the occasion of the two hundredth anniversary of his birth. Taking its cue from Jonathan H. Grossman’s Charles Dickens’s Networks, this piece reflects on the themes of Dickens and motion (the role of public transport in his novels), Dickens and emotion (his determination to move his readers), and Dickens in motion (his personal restlessness). KEYWORDS: DICKENS, MOTION, TRANSPORT, PICKWICK Dickens was born: to begin with. As many around the world noticed, this year marked the bicentenary of Charles Dickens’s birth (7 February 1812). The patron saint of plucky orphans and Christmas cheer was duly commemorated with academic conferences and a British Film Institute retrospective. Even Google joined the celebration. On 7 February 2012, the Web site refashioned its logo into a colourful panorama of Dickens characters.

  • Advertising and Fiction in the Pickwick Papers
    Victorian Literature and Culture (2010), 38, 319–335. C Cambridge University Press 2010. 1060-1503/10 $15.00 doi:10.1017/S106015031000001X ADVERTISING AND FICTION IN THE PICKWICK PAPERS By Andy Williams IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT MANY of Dickens’s novels were published in monthly serial parts. Not so commonly known is that each of these monthly numbers consisted not only of Dickens’s words and his illustrator’s pictures but also a substantial advertising supplement. In the original serial numbers of The Pickwick Papers, the presence of advertising cannot escape notice. Before reaching the illustrations that precede the novel in each serial part, the Victorian reader would have encountered “The Pickwick Advertiser,” a paratextual supplement that consisted of page upon page of advertisements for all manner of commodities. At the end of the last chapter of the serial number were usually around ten further pages of advertising stitched in before the back cover (which was also filled with publicity material). Almost one third of the material text of Pickwick in parts consisted of advertising material (Hatton and Cleaver xiii).1 Within the growing corpus of work dealing with what Thomas Richards has dubbed the “commodity culture of Victorian Britain” (Richards, McClintock, Loeb), some criticism elucidates the relationships between nineteenth-century fiction and consumer culture (Bowlby, Miller, Lindner), some specifically addresses the production, dissemination, and consumption of literary texts as commodities (Feltes, Sutherland, Patten, Roberts), and a small number of critical texts look at the relationship between advertising and fiction in the Dickensian novel (Wicke, Steinlight, Curtis). Until now, however, there has been little sustained close reading of the advertising material in the Dickensian serial text.

In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book.
