Best Answer

Charles Dickens's books were actually published in increments. He was paid by the local newspaper by the word, which is where his style of superfluous writing came. Some of his most famous works including A Christmas Carol were published in weekly installments this way.

How was Charles Dickens book published?

Most of his books were published through newspapers, chapter by chapter. He would write one chapter, and upon the demand of more, write another chapter and submit it to the paper.


What was Charles Dickens last book?

Charles Dickens's last published novel was Our Mutual Friend. He was working on a murder mystery, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, when he died in 1870. It was intended to be published in 12 monthly installments and the first six were published between April and September 1870. Like many of his other books, Dickens had not yet decided how Edwin Drood would end when he died. Dickens often gave staged dramatic readings of selected scenes from his books, to huge public acclaim. His last reading was in 1870, three months before his death. Friends and family of Dickens--including his doctor--discouraged these readings and believed they contributed to his relatively early death at 58. Charles Dickens started on his last book The Mystery of Edwin Drood in 1869, just before his death in 1870. The book was unfinished and Dickens himself had not decided who the murderer was.

Why did Charles Dickens use the pseudonym Boz?

Dickens said that Boz was 'the nickname of a pet child, a younger brother, whom I had dubbed Moses, in honour of Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, which, being pronounced Bozes, got shortened into Boz'. The real name of the brother was Augustus. Dickens' own son was christened Charles Culliford Boz Dickens. Dickens used a pen-name for his first stories because he was, at the time, a serious political columnist, and the lightweight sketches and stories he first published might have damaged his credibility.
