Letters

Editing and publication of the reference edition of Dickens's letters started in 1949 when publisher Rupert Hart-Davis persuaded Humphry House of Wadham College, Oxford, to edit a complete edition of the letters. House died suddenly aged 46 in 1955. However, the work continued, and by 2002 Volume 12 had been published.^[2] The letters are collected chronologically; thus volume 1 covers the years 1820–1839; volume 2, 1840–1841; volume 3, 1842–1843; volume 4, 1844–1846; volume 5, 1847–1849; volume 6, 1850–1852; volume 7, 1853–1855; volume 8, 1856–1858; volume 9, 1859–1861; volume 10, 1862–1864; volume 11, 1865–1867; and volume 12, 1868–1870.^[3]
