Dickens, Journalism, and Nationhood examines Charles Dickens'
weekly family magazine Household Words in order to develop a
detailed picture of how the journal negotiated, asserted and
simultaneously deconstructed Englishness as a unified (and
sometimes unifying) mode of expression. It offers close readings of
a wide range of materials that self-consciously focus on the nature
of England and Britain as well as the relationship between Britain
and the European continent, Ireland, and the British colonies.
Starting with the representation and classification of identities
that took place within the framework of the Great Exhibition of
1851, it suggests that the journal strives for a model of the world
in concentric circles, spiralling outward from the metropolitan
centre of London. Despite this apparent orderliness, however, each
of the national or regional categories constructed by the journal
also resists and undermines such a clear-cut representation.
