Dickens and Victorian Print Cultures

This selection of previously published research articles by internationally renowned scholars places Dickens at the centre of a dynamic and expanding Victorian print world and against a background of a growing and more literate population and an outpouring of print materials. The volume anchors Dickens's attempts to establish better conditions for writers regarding copyright protection, pay, status and recognition, and is of interest to all students and professionals fascinated by the composition, manufacture, finance, formats, pictorializations, sales, advertising and influence of Dickens's writing.
