About This Item

London: Bradbury and Evans 1852 / 1853. 12mo. Two volumes in one. viii, 280; viii, 280 pp. Half calf over marbled boards, with raised gilt-decorated bands and gilt lettering to spine. Wear across spines and boards, with bumping to extremities. Internally quite clean, with only occasional light marking. From Dickens Journal Online (itself from Drew, 'Dickens the Journalist', 2003): 'The Household Narrative was a twopenny monthly retrospect of national, international news, and other information...The Household Narrative became briefly significant for Dickens studies in the 1940s when a pioneering critic indicated how it could be mined as a source for 'originals,' incidents and other clues about the crafting of Dickens's fiction, but it has remained in this and other respects, as another scholar agreed in 1961, 'specially relevant and little explored.'' . Poor. Half Calf. 1852.
