This book marks a new departure in the study of Dickens. The
authors make use of first-hand evidence of Dickens' actual methods
and conditions of work; much of this evidence is examined and
co-ordinated here for the first time. It includes Dickens' detailed
manuscript notes for novels, with a complete transcript of these
for every instalment and chapter of David Copperfield. Seven other
books are chosen, so that the different stages of his career and
different kinds of work are well represented. The volume
illustrates what modes of planning Dickens evolved as best suited
to his genius and to the demands of serial publication, monthly or
weekly; how he responded to the events of the day; and how he yet
managed to combine the freshness of this "periodical", almost
journalistic approach with the art of the novel.
