Master Humphreys Clock and Pictures from Italy Charles Dickens

Master Humphrey's Clock - After the publication of Nicholas Nickleby in 1839, Charles Dickens resigned his editorship of "Bentley's Miscellany" to produce a weekly periodical, Master Humphrey's Clock (1840), consisting of short stories, essays and a miscellanea 'entirely of original matter' much in the style of Addison's Spectator. To make the periodical 'go', Dickens revived a scattering of Pickwickians, including Mr Pickwick and the Wellers.

Pictures from Italy - In 1844, Charles Dickens took a break from novels to travel in Italy for almost a year. This thrilling travelogue is the result of his encounters with Italy's colorful street life, the visible signs of its richly textured past, and its urban desolation. Dickens was particularly drawn to the costumes, cross-dressing, and sheer exuberant energy of the Roman carnival. Avoiding the traditional tourist sites, Pictures from Italy reveals the anxieties and concerns of its author
