DICKENS

Our goal is to reanimate, for modern readers, the Victorian encounter with serialized novels, read as they were intended to be-one issue at a time. From 2002 to 2007, we have enjoyed a vicarious journey through the 19th century, courtesy of Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Stanford University Library's Special Collections. We began with three Dickens novels, Great Expectations in 2002-2003, A Tale of Two Cities in 2004, and Hard Times in 2005, and continued in 2006 and 2007 with selected Sherlock Holmes stories, including a complete novel, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Each work was presented in facsimile, along with notes and commentary to enhance the reading experience. Paper issues were mailed weekly to our subscribers; others were invited to read the same issues on our web site...
