This Page is Under Construction

In an effort to provide a potential resource for the 2018 Dickens Universe conference, we’ve made this incomplete stack available to the public. The individual parts of five serial novels that ran concurrently with Little Dorrit are now available, below. We have added links to several volume-form novels and other significant publications that were published in 1855-1857, but still have more to add. Please continue to check back for additions.

Web Editor's Notes on 1855-1857

Note on The NewcomesOriginally published in monthly part-issue installments. We are in the process of securing access to a collection that contains the original part issues, but until that process is complete, we have linked to a facsimile of the original three-volume edition. There is no Librivox audio available for this text.

Note on North and South: Chapter 44 of the serial version of North and South was rewritten for the volume edition. Chapters 45, 46, 47, 48, and 50 were added to the volume edition and did not appear in the serialized version in Household Words. We have used the volume-form chapter numeration here to prevent confusion about which chapters were added and which were original.

Note on The Warden: We were unable to locate a facsimile of the original 1855 edition, so we have linked to a later 1857 edition.

Note on A Rogue’s Life: The Project Gutenberg text was taken from a reprint in 1879, over 20 years after the original publication, and therefore contains some revisions. There is no Librivox audio for A Rogue’s Life.

Note on The Dead Secret: The Project Gutenberg text was taken from a reprint in 1874, over 20 years after the original publication, and therefore contains some revisions. The Gutenberg text will not allow linking to separate chapters, so we have included a link to the entire text for each installment. The original text in Household Words does not separate the chapters into “books” the way the volume-form version does, but we have preserved the volume-form chapter delineations to avoid confusion, since the Librivox and Gutenberg texts use the volume delineations.

Note on The Frozen Deep: We were unable to locate an original edition of the play script, so we have linked to a later 1874 volume of Wilkie Collins’s stories.

Note on Barchester Towers: Hathi Trust only hosts volume 1 of the original 1857 edition, and we were unable to find volume 2 of the original edition elsewhere. Therefore, we’ve linked to volume 2 of a later, 1859 edition.

Note on What Will He Do With It?: We were unable to locate a facsimile of this title in the original Blackwood’s part-issues. Instead, we have linked to a biannual compendium of Blackwood’s. There is no Librivox audio for this title.
