Jayakeralam was a Malayalam–language weekly literary magazine published from Madras (now Chennai).
 It was established by C. R. Krishna Pillai in 1947 in order to encourage Malayalam writers both in Madras and Kerala.
 "Jayakeralam" was printed from Janatha Printing Press, also set up by Pillai in Madras.
 C. K. Appukutty Guptan was the editor of the magazine.
 Some of the most outstanding works of Malayalam literature were first published serially in this prestige periodical.
 Prominent writers such as P. Bhaskaran, Pavanan etc. had worked in the editorial board of "Jayakeralam".
 It was one of the most popular literary magazines in Malayalam for three decades, but the publishers discontinued it in the 1990s.
John O'London's Weekly was a weekly literary magazine that was published by George Newnes Ltd of London between 1919 and 1954.
 In 1960 it was briefly brought back into circulation.
 Regarded as the leading literary magazine in the British Empire, at its height it had a circulation of 80,000, and it was popular among young and older readers alike.
A Dark Night's Work is an 1863 novel by Elizabeth Gaskell.
 It was first published serially in Charles Dickens's magazine "All the Year Round".
 The word "dark" was added to the original title by Dickens against Gaskell's wishes.
 Dickens felt that the altered title would be more striking.
The Moonstone (1868) by Wilkie Collins is a 19th-century British epistolary novel, generally considered the first full length detective novel in the English language.
 The story was originally serialised in Charles Dickens' magazine "All the Year Round".
 "The Moonstone" and "The Woman in White" are widely considered Wilkie Collins' best novels.
 Besides creating many of the ground rules of the detective novel, "The Moonstone" also reflected Collins' enlightened social attitudes in his treatment of the servants in the novel.
 Collins adapted "The Moonstone" for the stage in 1877, but the production was performed for only two months.
While in the preceding Romantic period poetry had been the dominant genre, it was the novel that was most important in the Victorian period.
 Charles Dickens (1812–1870) dominated the first part of Victoria's reign: his first novel, "Pickwick Papers", was published in 1836, and his last "Our Mutual Friend" between 1864–5.
 William Thackeray's (1811–1863) most famous work "Vanity Fair" appeared in 1848, and the three Brontë sisters, Charlotte (1816–55), Emily (1818–48) and Anne (1820–49), also published significant works in the 1840s.
 A major later novel was George Eliot's (1819–80) "Middlemarch" (1872), while the major novelist of the later part of Queen Victoria's reign was Thomas Hardy (1840–1928), whose first novel, "Under the Greenwood Tree", appeared in 1872 and his last, "Jude the Obscure", in 1895.
All the Year Round was a Victorian periodical, being a British weekly literary magazine founded and owned by Charles Dickens, published between 1859 and 1895 throughout the United Kingdom.
 Edited by Dickens, it was the direct successor to his previous publication "Household Words", abandoned due to differences with his former publisher.
Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel by Charles Dickens and his penultimate completed novel; a bildungsroman that depicts the personal growth and personal development of an orphan nicknamed Pip.
 It is Dickens's second novel, after "David Copperfield", to be fully narrated in the first person.
 The novel was first published as a serial in Dickens' weekly periodical "All the Year Round", from 1 December 1860 to August 1861.
 In October 1861, Chapman and Hall published the novel in three volumes.
Charles Culliford Boz Dickens (6 January 1837 – 20 July 1896) was the first child of the English novelist Charles Dickens and his wife Catherine.

 He is now most remembered for his two 1879 books "Dickens's Dictionary of London" and "Dickens's Dictionary of the Thames".
"The Haunted House" is a story published in 1859 for the weekly periodical "All the Year Round".

"Mugby Junction" is a set of short stories written in 1866 by Charles Dickens and collaborators Charles Collins, Amelia B. Edwards, Andrew Halliday, and Hesba Stretton.
 It was first published in a Christmas edition of the magazine "All the Year Round".
 Dickens penned a majority of the issue, including the frame narrative in which "the Gentleman for Nowhere," who has spent his life cloistered in the firm Barbox Brothers & Co., makes use of his new-found freedom in retirement to explore the rail lines that connect with Mugby Junction.
 Dickens's collaborators each contributed an individual story to the collection.
