The volume covers the first eighteen months of Dicken's contributions to his ownjournal Household Words (est. 1850). Whether discussing cheap theatres or pre- raphaelite painting, the new detective police or workhouse reform, Dickens' interests and enthusiasms keep a finger on the pulse of what he called "the moving age".
