The Dickens Checklist

Each number of Dickens Quarterly features the Dickens Checklist, a record of recent publications in Dickens Studies that is researched and maintained by Dominic Rainsford. This is a valuable service to Dickensians and scholars in the field who want to keep informed about new activities in the field and developments in scholarship.

Annually, this cumulative and cross-checked list is updated here after the final number of each volume and can be accessed and downloaded for private use.
