"Intelligent use of Oppenlander's book should produce worthwhile results, both for those who write on Dickens and for graduate students in search of topics for papers. . . . Readers will find here the most comprehensive description to date of Dickens's editorial and business practices, together with useful notes about Victorian weekly periodicals and the extent to which 'Household Words' and 'All the Year Round' resembled each other and differed."--DICKENS QUARTERLY
