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 This volume presents 1,087 letters, 284 of them previously unpublished, for the years 1844 to 1846.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

The years covered are 1842 and 1843; and the central subject is inevitably Dickens in relation to America.JanuarytoJune 1842 covers his first visit there, the adulation which greeted him, the alteration in his feeling for the country and the country's for him (much use is made, in the annotation, of American newspaper comment). The results are seen in American Notes and the American chapters of Martin Chuzlewit. Later interests are reflected in A Christmas Carol, published at the end of 1843.

Oxford: The Clarendon Press/ Oxford University Press, 1999. This eleventh volume presents 1158 letters, many previously unpublished or published only in part, for the years 1865 to 1867. Dickens's main work in the period is the completion of the monthly parts of Our Mutual Friend (final part 31 October 1865, for November); unusually, it comes out in two volumes (January and November 1865) during the period of its run. The three All the Year Round Christmas numbers, 'Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions', 'Mugby Junction', and 'No Thoroughfare' (written jointly with Wilkie Collins) are again highly successful.
