‎Charles Dickens Signed Portrait Photograph.‎

‎1868. Large oval portrait photograph measures 20 inches by 16 inches. Matted in a contemporary frame which measures 25.5 inches by 29.5 inches. Signed "Charles Dickens with a large flourish Boston Sixth March 1868." In 1867 Charles Dickens began his second American reading tour at Boston's Tremont Temple where an enthusiastic audience delighted in some of his most notable works members of the audience included legendary literary stars such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Although Dickens was in declining health he embarked on an ambitious travel schedule across the United States. Dickens returned to Boston once more before concluding his U.S. tour in New York City. When Charles Dickens arrived in Boston on November 19 1867 the celebrated English author spent several days at the Parker House hotel recuperating from the voyage. As conscientious a performer as he was a writer Dickens had prepared diligently for his performances redrafting and memorizing key passages from his books especially for these engagements. He used a book only as a prop; he was so familiar with the material that he could improvise with ease. However during his 1867-1868 tour he was plagued with Flu-like symptoms insomnia and an inflammation of his foot which forced him to walk with a cane. During his last tours in 1868 Dickens confined much of his performances to the New England area. Dickens was grateful for the income he desperately needed from his readings which generated $140000 close to $2000000 today; but he longed for home. On April 8 1868 Dickens gave the last performance of the tour. Prolonged applause followed the reading. He closed by telling the audience "In this brief life of ours it is sad to do almost anything for the last time. Ladies and gentlemen I beg most earnestly most gratefully and most affectionately to bid you each and all farewell." He died two years later having written 14 novels several of which are considered classics of English literature. A desirable piece of Victorian literary history.     Charles Dickens was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. unknown books‎

‎Charles Dickens Writes About Publishing his Work and Writing "Under New and Favorable Circumstances" in the Year of Martin Chuzzelwit's Release‎

‎Famed English Victorian novelist. 2 page Autograph Letter Signed and dated Tuesday the 26th of March 1844. Writing to The London Magazine Dickens praises the poetry of contemporary writer and magazine editor Thomas Hood as well as committing to send new work to be published in the magazine. This letter was written during the same period when Dickens was writing the final installments of Martin Chuzzlewit the novel that he would ultimately call his best work.<br/><br/>From Devonshire Dickens writes in his hand in full<br/><br/>"Dear Sir<br/>It is quite unnecessary for me to say that I have a great respect for Thomas Hood and hold his genius in high estimation.<br/><br/>I cannot promise to render any but the slightest assistance with his magazine in case it should receive consequences of its late appearance this month. But if it should and if it should be within the hands of the Spottiswoodes publishing house I will certainly write something for the next number. It will necessarily be very short and will most probably refer to its starting under new and favorable circumstances. But in the case I have put I will do that much with sincere pleasure -- and would do much more if my engagements permitted."<br/><br/>He signs boldly " Charles Dickens."<br/><br/>Dickens' lengthy novels were each published as magazine serials prior to their final release in book form and this letter provides an important glimpse into how he retained these important relationships with editors while negotiating the balance between creating much-loved literary masterpieces and meeting the demands of magazine deadlines. Deeply engaged in the composition of his novel Martin Chuzzlewit which Dickens would call his best work Dickens admits to the editor his desire to submit work but his concern at missing a deadline and holding up publication of the upcoming issue. Rather than inconvenience the editor or bring about the dissatisfaction of subscribers Dickens commits to "writing something for the next issue" if the current issue is already "within the hands of the Spottiswoodes" publishing house. Given Dickens' "great respect" for the position of Thomas Hood who was both a famed writer and one of the magazine's editors he guarantees a strong piece and assures his correspondent that he is "writing under new and favorable circumstances." Such conditions could be credited to the near-completion of Martin Chuzzlewit as well as to the birth of Dickens' third son in the same year.<br/><br/>An important letter providing a glimpse into Dickens' publication and writing. With minor age related toning. In very good condition with bold clean signature. unknown books‎
