Dickens, Charles. Bleak House. London: Bradbury and Evans, 1853.




Charles Dickens’ Bleak House is a collection of 20 numbers issued monthly, from March, 1852, to September, 1853. These are illustrated in blue paper covers. Each number contains two plates except number 9 and 10, which contain one and three. A printed note in number 9 explains the reason for this.  However, that issue is missing from the collection.

Bleak House is a novel published in 20 monthly issues. It known to be Dickens's best novel and includes several characters and sub-plots. A novel that is broke into several different paperbacks is something that is not seen today. However, I think that would actually be a great way to release a book as it less of a time commitment and suspenseful.
