‘Who wrote this script?’
In 2016 the Dickens Museum in London acquired the manuscript minute book of a Stepney-based ‘Pickwick Club’ operating in the 1830s and early 1840s.

The shadow which I call pain’
The article examines Mary Cholmondeley's response to her invalid condition at the fin de siècle, and its impact on her writing. Her relationship with her first publisher George Bentley, was sustained almost entirely by letter, but her empathy with him as a fellow asthmatic and her obligation to meet agreed deadlines, led her to confide in him about the details of her illness in ways that are not paralleled elsewhere in her correspondence.
