All the Year Round
A Weekly Journal conducted by Charles Dickens
Charles John Huffam Dickens (February 7, 1812–June 9, 1870), pen-name "Boz", was an English novelist. The popularity of his novels and short stories during his lifetime and to the present is demonstrated by the fact that none has ever gone out of print. Dickens wrote serialised novels, which was then usual format for fiction, and each new part of his stories would be eagerly anticipated by the reading public. He is remembered by many as the greatest writer of his time.
All the Year Round (whose full title was All the Year Round. A Weekly Journal. Conducted by Charles Dickens. With Which is Incorporated Household Words) was a weekly magazine edited by Charles Dickens which was published between 1859 and 1893. It was the successor to Household Words, Dickens' previous journal. Following Charles Dickens' death in 1870 it was edited by his son Charles Culliford Boz Dickens.
The journal contained the same mixture of fiction and non-fiction as Household Words but with a greater emphasis on literary matters and less on journalism. Nearly 11 per cent of the non-fiction articles in All the Year Round dealt with some aspect of international affairs or cultures, discounting the American Civil War, which Dickens instructed his staff to avoid unless they had specifically cleared a topic with him first.
