∙ 15y agoDickens became a law clerk in 1827, in the law offices of Ellis and Blackmore. In 1830, he became a court stenographer, and taught himself the difficult method of shorthand used at the time. Once he decided he didn't want to actually practice law, the shorthand enabled him to become a political reporter, in which his legal experience was invaluable. In 1834, Dickens became a political journalist and he traveled all over England to cover election campaigns. His journalism took the form of sketches that would form the book Sketches by Boz. In 1836, Sketches was published and this lead to the serialization of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club.
