Why were Charles Dickens's stories serialised?

Answer 1

It was a tradition along the entire 19th c and during the early part of the 20th century. On one hand, it maintained the readers' interest alive; on the other hand, books were luxury commodities for many people, some had only one book (The Bible, also called the Book or the Good BooK), others did not own a single sheet of paqper, so they could not have afford to buy the entire book all at once.

Answer 2

Charles Dickens's stories were serialised in newspapers and magazines because it was a popular way of publishing fiction during the Victorian era. It allowed for wider accessibility to his work, as readers could enjoy his stories in installments rather than having to buy an entire book at once. Serialisation also helped build anticipation and suspense among readers, keeping them engaged over a longer period of time.
