Item # 689561
Bound volume of the periodical "HOUSEHOLD WORDS conducted by Charles Dickens" (as noted in the masthead of each issue), London, containing 26 weekly issues dating from March 5, 1853 thru Aug. 27, 1853.
Household Words was published every Saturday from March 1850 to May 1859. Theoretically the paper championed the cause of the poor and working classes, but in fact it addressed itself almost exclusively to the middle class. The journal contained a mixture of fiction and nonfiction. A large amount of the non-fiction dealt with the social issues of the time, a focus of Charles Dickens throughout his career.
