All the Year Round A Weekly Journal Conducted by Charles Dickens 1859-64 - London - Chapman and Hall 9.5" by 6"; various paginations | Scarce and decorative antiquarian books and first editions on all subjects | Rare Books | Rooke Books DETAILS An uncommon uniiformly bound set of the Victorian periodical All the Year Round. All the Year Round was 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. All the Year Round contained the same mixture of fiction and non-fiction as Household Words but with a greater emphasis on literary matters and less on journalism. Nearly 11 per cent of the non-fiction articles in All the Year Round dealt with some aspect of international affairs or cultures. Old tales of crime (especially with a French or Italian setting), new developments in science (including the theories of Charles Darwin), lives and struggles of inventors, tales of exploration and adventure in distant parts, and examples of self-help among humble folk, are among the topics which found a ready welcome from Dickens.

These 9 volumes are from the "First Series", which spanned from Vol. 1 (30 April 1859) to Vol. 20 (28 November 1868). Each volume was 26 numbers, or half a year, long. Each volume features serialisations of works of fiction, with Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities being in volumes I and II, his Great Expectations in volume IV with the second half absent, as stated below. Other serialisations include Wilkie Collin's The Woman in White and Bulwer-Lytton's A Strange Story. Each even numbered volume also the contains the extra Christmas number to the rear. 9 volumes of 10 with the fifth volume (V) absent. All volumes are first edition. CONDITION Uniformly bound in contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Externally, rather rubbed to boards with some light wear to spines and other extremities. Corners bumped. Some loss to backstrip of volume II. Front hinge of volume II strained. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright throughout with only the very occasional spot or handling mark. Neat ink inscription to front pastedown of each volume.

Overall: GOOD with VERY GOOD INDEED interiors. ADD TO BASKET Dickens As A Journalist | The Dickens Fellowship Dickens As A Journalist Dickens writing Dickens was an accomplished reporter before he achieved success as a writer of fiction. Following his rise to fame, he took on a number of editing roles that proved less than satisfying before becoming in 1850 the editor of a weekly publication, Household Words. He edited this and its successor, All the Year Round, through to his death in 1870. Some details are given below, in chronological order, of his journalistic roles. Parliamentary reporter, The Mirror of Parliament (1831-32) Reporter, True Sun (1832-34) Reporter, The Morning Chronicle (1834-36) Editor, Bentley's Miscellany (1837-39) First editor of the monthly magazine, Dickens found it difficult to work with the publisher, Richard Bentley. Replaced by William Harrison Ainsworth.

Founder and Editor, Master Humphrey's Clock (1840-41) A weekly magazine, conceived and written entirely by Dickens, Master Humphrey's Clock failed in its purpose to be a popular miscellany. However, it survived as solely a vehicle for the serial publication of The Old Curiosity Shop, which had been launched in the fourth issue as a less ambitious work, and Barnaby Rudge. Editor, The Daily News (1846) Dickens soon discovered that he was not well suited to the editorial routines of a daily. Co-founder and Editor, Household Words (1850-59) For the last 20 years of his life, Dickens was to edit his own weekly magazine. Household Words published topical features, essays, short fiction and poetry by a variety of writers, including Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Wilkie Collins and Mrs Gaskell. Following a dispute between the publishers and Dickens, related to the separation from his wife in 1859, publication ceased. Founder and Editor, All the Year Round (1859-70) Dickens's new weekly magazine was similar to Household Words, but serial fiction was introduced as a major element.

Among the novels published in All the Year Round were Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White and The Moonstone, and Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations. Another major feature from 1860 was a series of stories written by Dickens, blending fact with fiction, recounting the experiences of an 'uncommercial traveller'. These stories were later published separately as a book. The magazine continued to be published after Dickens's death, for 18 years under the editorship of his son, Charley. It finally ceased publication in 1893. Charles Dickens All the Year Round : definition of All the Year Round and synonyms of All the Year Round (English) History 1859-1870 In 1858, Charles Dickens was the editor of his then magazine Household Words , published by Bradbury and Evans ; a petty dispute with them led Dickens to realize that he was at the whim of his publisher, and to decide that he would create a new weekly magazine that he would own and control entirely. [1] In 1859, Dickens founded All the Year Round. Similarly to his previous magazine, the author searched a title that could be derived from a Shakespeare quote.

He eventually found it on 28 January 1859 (in Othello , act one, scene three, lines 128-129), to be displayed before the title: [2] 'The story of our lives, from year to year.' — Shakespeare. ALL THE YEAR ROUND. A weekly journal. Conducted by Charles Dickens. The new weekly magazine had its debut issue on Saturday 30 April 1859, featuring the first installment of Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities . [3] [4] The launch was an immediate success. “ So well has All the Year Round gone that it was yesterday able to repay me, with five per cent. interest, all the money I advanced for its establishment (paper, print etc. all paid, down to the last number), and yet to leave a good £500 balance at the banker's! [2] ” —-Charles Dickens One month after the launch, Dickens won a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery against his former publisher Bradbury and Evans , giving him back the trade name of his previous journal.

[1] On Saturday 28 May 1859, five weeks after the launch of All the Year Round, Dickens terminated Household Words , publishing its last issue with a prospectus for his new journal and the announcement that, "After the appearance of the present concluding Number of Household Words, this publication will merge into the new weekly publication, All the Year Round, and the title, Household Words, will form a part of the title-page of All the Year Round." [5] AYR's full title then acquired a fourth item: " All the Year Round. A Weekly Journal. Conducted by Charles Dickens. With Which Is Incorporated Household Words. " All the Year Round contained the same mixture of fiction and non-fiction as Household Words but with a greater emphasis on literary matters and less on journalism. Nearly 11 per cent of the non-fiction articles in All the Year Round dealt with some aspect of international affairs or cultures, discounting the American Civil War , which Dickens instructed his staff to avoid unless they had specifically cleared a topic with him first.

Old tales of crime (especially with a French or Italian setting), new developments in science (including the theories of Charles Darwin ), lives and struggles of inventors, tales of exploration and adventure in distant parts, and examples of self-help among humble folk, are among the topics which found a ready welcome from Dickens. After 1863, although Charles Dickens continued to micromanage the editorial department, scrupulously revising copy, his own contributions fell off considerably, largely because he spent more and more time on the road with his public readings. A few weeks before 28 November 1868, Dickens announced a new series for All the Year Round: "I beg to announce to the readers of this Journal, that on the completion of the Twentieth Volume on the Twenty-eighth of November, in the present year, I shall commence an entirely New Series of All the Year Round.

The change is not only due to the convenience of the public (with which a set of such books, extending beyond twenty large volumes, would be quite incompatible), but is also resolved upon for the purpose of effecting some desirable improvements in respect of type, paper, and size of page, which could not otherwise be made." [6] 1870–1895 After hiring him as the subeditor of the magazine a year earlier, [7] Dickens bequeathed All the Year Round to his eldest son Charles Dickens, Jr ("Charles Dickens the younger" in the testament) one week before his death in June 1870. [8] After Dickens's death, his son would own and edit the magazine from 25 June 1870 until the end of 1895 (or possibly just until 1888). [9] [10] In 1889, the magazine started a "Third series". It is unclear how much Dickens Jr was involved with the new series, [10] but a number of stories were contributed by Mary Dickens . In 1895, All the Year Round ended.

It had its last issue on 30 March 1895, after three series: [3] [4] [11] Series Each volume was 26 numbers long, half a year (thus Vol. 1 was Nos 1 to 26, Vol. 2 was Nos 27 to 52, Vol. 3 was Nos 53 to 78, but the annuals and seasonal extras counted for additional numbers.) "First Series": Vol. 1 (30 April 1859) to Vol. 20 (28 November 1868) "New Series" : Vol. 1 (5 December 1868) to Vol. 43 (29 December 1888) "Third Series": Vol. 1 (5 January 1889) to Vol. 13 (30 March 1895) Collaborative works Cover of the Christmas issue for 'Mrs. Lirriper's Lodgings' Dickens would also collaborate with other staff writers on a number of Christmas stories and plays for seasonal issues of the magazine.

These included: The Haunted House in the Extra Christmas Number (13 December 1859) with Wilkie Collins , Elizabeth Gaskell (who notoriously rejected Dickens' offers to write for the magazine), Adelaide Anne Procter , George Augustus Henry Sala , and Hesba Stretton .

Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions in the Extra Christmas Number (12 December 1865). The most famous story in Doctor Marigold's Prescriptions is one of Dicken's own contributions to it, The Trial for Murder (aka To Be Taken with a Grain of Salt). Mugby Junction in the Extra Christmas Number (12 December 1866) which includes a masterpiece of short fiction, The Signalman (aka No. 1 Branch Line: The Signalman). No Thoroughfare in the Extra Christmas Number (12 December 1867) with Wilkie Collins. Contributors Sarah Doudney - poetry and fiction Staff writers included: Henry Morley - informative though rather congested articles on historical, political, economic and literary topics, including the background to the American Civil War Charles Allston Collins (younger brother of Wilkie Collins and son-in-law to Dickens) - reportage and articles on art and architecture, marked by a distinctive vein of melancholy humour.

Contributors Sarah Doudney - poetry and fiction Staff writers included: Henry Morley - informative though rather congested articles on historical, political, economic and literary topics, including the background to the American Civil War Charles Allston Collins (younger brother of Wilkie Collins and son-in-law to Dickens) - reportage and articles on art and architecture, marked by a distinctive vein of melancholy humour. He wrote as 'David Fudge' and 'Our Eye-Witness' Eliza Lynn Linton Almost all articles were printed without naming their author; only the editor, "Conducted by Charles Dickens", was mentioned on the first page and the head of every other page. While a complete key to who wrote what and for how much in Household Words was compiled in 1973 by Anne Lohrli (using an analysis of the office account book maintained by Dickens's subeditor, W. H. Wills), unfortunately the account book for All the Year Round has not survived. However, Ella Ann Oppenlander has attempted to provide something comparable in a 1984 book not easily procured, Dickens' All the Year Round: Descriptive Index and Contributor List.

Download EBOOK Contributions to All the Year Round for free Download PDF: On New Monthly Magazines, 1859-60 | BRANCH Download this page in PDF format Page from _Cornhill Magazine_, 1860 The appearance of new monthly magazines in 1859-1860 is at once a landmark event in canonical literary and publishing history and, viewed from within alternative materialist histories of Victorian print culture, a minor ripple. Thus the inaugural issues of Macmillan’s and Cornhill Magazinesreflect on disciplinary practices and the history of scholarly commentary as well as on new reading opportunities, commodities, and literary production in mid-Victorian England. Monthly magazines were situated between quarterlies, notable for extended reviews of current books, and weeklies, e.g., Charles Dickens’s Household Words. Both monthlies and weeklies included literary content, but weeklies often adopted newspaper formats and could capitalize on their greater currency, whereas monthlies featured longer contributions more suited to leisurely consumption (Law; Shattock, “Monthly”; Shattock, “Quarterly”).

Entire dissertations (e.g., Schmidt) and special issues (Scheuerle) have been devoted to Cornhill Magazine, a recent book to Macmillan’s Magazine (Worth). Richard Altick ties the impact of these two magazines to the specific interests of an educated middle-class readership: Between the London Journal’s uncultivated audience and the intellectual one of the Athenaeum there lay a growing public which, until the sixties, had been inadequately cared for, largely because of the rush to accommodate the semiliterate millions. This was the middle-class audience of superior education but relatively little spending money: the people who disdained cheap weeklies, with a few exceptions like Household Words, but who could not spare the two shillings or half-crown at which the principal monthly magazines were priced. To their rescue came the shilling monthly. Within three months of each other, in the winter of 1859-60, Macmillan’s Magazine and the Cornhill Magazine were launched. The first number of the latter sold an astounding total, considering its price, of 120,000 copies.

(358-59) If rising demand for serial fiction also played a role, the successful debut of the new shilling monthlies was principally an event in middle-class culture, the cultural zone from which so many of the literary works now considered canonical emerged. Both Macmillan’s and Cornhill helped popularize and entrench the practice of reading quality fiction, poetry, and nonfiction prose serially and in juxtaposition with each other. Both magazines also had strong ties to book publishers—Macmillan’s to the eponymous press of its founder Alexander Macmillan and Cornhill to the firm of Smith, Elder, and Company—links that provided an incentive to editors for recruiting well-known or emergent talent that could then be redirected to book markets.

As Altick notes, both sold for a shilling, well above the price of downmarket weeklies or cheap magazines, but less than half the price of Bentley’s Miscellany (which first serialized Oliver Twist, 1837-1839), Blackwood’s Magazine (in which Eliot’s Scenes of Clerical Life first appeared, 1857), Fraser’s Magazine (which serialized Carlyle’s Sartor Resartus, 1833-1834, and Thackeray’s Catherine, 1839-1840), or New Monthly Magazine (home to serials by Frances Trollope and Capt. Marryat in the late 1830s and 1840s). There were significant differences between the two titles, however.

Macmillan’s was unillustrated, generally printed in double columns, and hosted articles touching upon controversy; its opening article, by editor David Masson, addressed “Politics of the Present, Foreign and Domestic,” and ended by endorsing (not without more than a soupçon of self-interest) universal primary education so that the lower classes would receive the “greatest” franchise, “the franchise of books” ([Masson] 10). Macmillan’s also gave prominence to poetry relative to Cornhill and the later Fortnightly Review (Hughes, “What” 95), featuring the poet laureate and his brother, Charles Tennyson Turner, in its first year; and after February 1861, with the publication of “Up-hill,” Christina Rossetti became something of a house poet. Aimed at a more intellectual readership than Cornhill (Ellegård 19), Macmillan’s also had a smaller circulation, rarely over 20,000. Cornhill Magazine tends to dominate discussion of the impact of new shilling monthlies in the 1860s, not illogically since it also dominated the market, at least during its first few years.

Why was this so? In part, the journal had the attraction of a celebrity author, William Makepeace Thackeray. Of course, successful celebrity editorship had been pioneered by Charles Dickens a decade earlier, first with Household Words (1850-1859), then with All the Year Round (founded 1859). Cornhill was far more expensive than Dickens’s second weekly literary magazine, which was serializing Wilkie Collins’s Woman in White (1859-1860) when Cornhill debuted. But in contrast to the 24 unillustrated, closely-printed pages that readers got for twopence when they purchased All the Year Round, Cornhill offered 128 pages of content per issue, nearly six times the span of the Dickens title at precisely six times the cost.

Moreover, Cornhill, unlike Dickens’s weekly, offered two illustrations and numerous vignette drawings, many by leading artists of the day (e.g., John Everett Millais and Frederic Leighton); two (not just one) concurrent serial novels by quality authors, beginning with Trollope’s Framley Parsonage and Thackeray’s Lovel the Widower (plus Thackeray’s Roundabout Papers); numerous substantial essays; a few poems (including Tennyson’s “Tithonus” and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “The Great God Pan” in 1860); and upmarket printing that resembled book layout. As Mark Turner points out, All the Year Round’s alternative sales format as a monthly (which bundled together all the weekly issues) also sold for a shilling but did not offer a similar array of features (Turner, “Telling” 120-21). Cornhill has also figured in literary histories because it marked Trollope’s emergence as a major Victorian serial novelist when Framley Parsonage, illustrated by Millais, became immensely popular (Turner, Trollope 5).

Though Cornhill’s high sales figures slumped toward the late 1860s, this was in part because by then it had spawned so many imitators after it proved the marketability of a shilling monthly aimed at middle-class fiction readers (Turner, “Telling” 121). A final factor in Cornhill’s prominence within literary history is that, poets aside, so many major mid-Victorian authors appeared in its pages, from Gaskell and Eliot to Ruskin and Arnold. Yet it is possible to overemphasize the newness of the shilling monthlies. As the references above to Blackwood’s and other magazines indicate, serialization of novels in magazines dated back to Bentley’s (and also Metropolitan Magazine) in the 1830s. Once a Week, the illustrated weekly spun off by the firm of Bradbury and Evans after Dickens broke with the firm over the announcement of his marital separation, rivaled Cornhill’s upmarket visual production in its lavish illustration by leading artists, much of it devoted to poems (Hughes, “Inventing” 41-42).

Macmillan’s, on the other hand, deliberately echoed magazine formats from the past in the first issue’s concluding selection, a convivial, freewheeling “Colloquy of the Round Table.” If the title registered the impact of Tennyson’s Idylls of the King published the prior July, the colloquy harked back to the “Noctes Ambrosianae” of Blackwood’s, a series of 71 colloquies appearing from 1822-1835. The most famous “Noctes” personage, the Scots Ettrick Shepherd, was likewise echoed in the inclusion of a Scots Round Table “brother,” Andrew McTaggart. Yet the colloquy, designed to be a recurring feature, was out of step with the 1860s, and after two issues the “Round Table” was quietly dropped. The point remains that innovations represented by Macmillan’s and Cornhill were at best uneven, and their distinctiveness must be qualified. With widespread digitization of Victorian periodicals, an entirely new context for viewing the new shilling monthlies has emerged.

First, in contrast to the importance of Cornhill and Macmillan’s for studies of canonical literature and mid-Victorian middle-class readerships, two titles of limited circulation become minor presences when millions of periodical pages from hundreds of titles over the course of the nineteenth century can be searched in seconds. Second, the rise of cultural and popular culture studies suggests that we may learn more about a majority of Victorians by attending to those titles most commonly read—e.g., the London Journal with its “uncultivated audience,” in Altick’s words (estimated at 200,000 in 1860 in the online Waterloo Directory of English Newspapers and Periodicals [North]). Third, when the object of study is the mass medium of print culture as a whole, understanding a dynamic system of print exceeds the importance of a mere two titles at mid-century. The search techniques of digitized periodicals are also driving different methods from that of consecutive reading of a single or multiple issues of a famous periodical (especially since browsing is more comfortably undertaken in hard copy than online at present).

Data-mining and keyword searches, the powerful tools of digitization, make it possible to ask new questions, especially about the recurrence of phrases (hence rhetoric) or crimes (hence cultural anxieties) across classes and multiple titles. Put another way, when the object of study becomes Victorian journalism and media (see, e.g., Brake, Subjugated and “Tacking”) rather than literary history and major authors, then Cornhill and Macmillan’s necessarily play bit-parts rather than major roles, or need to be investigated more for their editorial policies regarding signature and politics rather than their literary content. That the two new shilling monthlies can prompt scholars, teachers, and students to ask what counts most in literary study attests to one use of attending to 1859-1860 and the new shilling magazines that emerged.

Along with general study of Victorian serial fiction, they also remain very relevant to the classroom, since reading novels in parts (whether Tom Brown’s Schooldays, the inaugural serial of Macmillan’s, or Framley Parsonage, the inaugural serial of Cornhill) provides a means of enabling contemporary students to complete and enjoy long novels and to undertake original archival research by exploring the interactions between serial parts and other features surrounding them (Hughes and Lund, Victorian 275-78 and “What”; Mangum). Finally, studying Cornhill and Macmillan’s can, along with digitization and study of Victorian visual culture and journalism, underscore the point that all literary texts are mediated and remind the historically minded that the Victorian era, too, played a crucial role in media history.

The plaque reads: "This building / housed the offices / of / Charles Dickens' / magazine / 'All the Year Round' / and his / private apartments / 1859 - 1870" =================================================================== =================================================================== 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.

It hosted the serialization of many prominent novels, including Dickens' own A Tale of Two Cities. After Dickens's death in 1870, it was owned and edited by his eldest son Charles Dickens, Jr. 1859-1870 In 1858, Charles Dickens was the editor of his then magazine Household Words, published by Bradbury and Evans; a petty dispute with them led Dickens to realize that he was at the whim of his publisher, and to decide that he would create a new weekly magazine that he would own and control entirely. In 1859, Dickens founded All the Year Round. Similarly to his previous magazine, the author searched a title that could be derived from a Shakespeare quote. He eventually found it on 28 January 1859 (in Othello, act one, scene three, lines 128-129), to be displayed before the title: 'The story of our lives, from year to year.' — Shakespeare. ALL THE YEAR ROUND. A weekly journal. Conducted by Charles Dickens.

The new weekly magazine had its debut issue on Saturday 30 April 1859, featuring the first installment of Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities. The launch was an immediate success. “ So well has All the Year Round gone that it was yesterday able to repay me, with five per cent. interest, all the money I advanced for its establishment (paper, print etc. all paid, down to the last number), and yet to leave a good £500 balance at the banker's! ” —-Charles Dickens One month after the launch, Dickens won a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery against his former publisher Bradbury and Evans, giving him back the trade name of his previous journal.

On Saturday 28 May 1859, five weeks after the launch of All the Year Round, Dickens terminated Household Words, publishing its last issue with a prospectus for his new journal and the announcement that, "After the appearance of the present concluding Number of Household Words, this publication will merge into the new weekly publication, All the Year Round, and the title, Household Words, will form a part of the title-page of All the Year Round." AYR's full title then acquired a fourth item: " All the Year Round. A Weekly Journal. Conducted by Charles Dickens. With Which Is Incorporated Household Words. " All the Year Round contained the same mixture of fiction and non-fiction as Household Words but with a greater emphasis on literary matters and less on journalism. Nearly 11 per cent of the non-fiction articles in All the Year Round dealt with some aspect of international affairs or cultures, discounting the American Civil War, which Dickens instructed his staff to avoid unless they had specifically cleared a topic with him first.

Old tales of crime (especially with a French or Italian setting), new developments in science (including the theories of Charles Darwin), lives and struggles of inventors, tales of exploration and adventure in distant parts, and examples of self-help among humble folk, are among the topics which found a ready welcome from Dickens. After 1863, although Charles Dickens continued to micromanage the editorial department, scrupulously revising copy, his own contributions fell off considerably, largely because he spent more and more time on the road with his public readings. A few weeks before 28 November 1868, Dickens announced a new series for All the Year Round: "I beg to announce to the readers of this Journal, that on the completion of the Twentieth Volume on the Twenty-eighth of November, in the present year, I shall commence an entirely New Series of All the Year Round.

The change is not only due to the convenience of the public (with which a set of such books, extending beyond twenty large volumes, would be quite incompatible), but is also resolved upon for the purpose of effecting some desirable improvements in respect of type, paper, and size of page, which could not otherwise be made Charles Dickens signed autograph hand written note (item #1228640) Charles Dickens signed autograph hand written note browse these categories for related items... 6931 Woodstock Rd., P.O.
